To/
His Excy Anson Jones, Dr. Sir,
A communication from the Super- intendent of Indian Affairs, containing instructions from your Excy in regard to the protection of Post No. 2., reached me on yesterday. I had previously (in accordance with an understanding had with you when in the city.) instructed the Officers commanding the Milam and Robertson County Ranging Corps, to disband at the expiration of three months from their last enrolment, which will be on the 15th instant. Immediately on the receipt of your instructions through the Indian Bureau, I waited on Maj. Fauntleroy commanding U. States forces at this post, who very promptly furnished an officer and thirty men from the ranging Corps of Capt. Cody, to be stationed at Post No 2.-From Mr. Torrey's statement
