No. 101 LETTER FROM J. W. THROCKMORTON TO L. V. BOGY Executive Department
Austin, Texas, Jany 29th 1867.
Hon Lewis V. Bogy,
Comr. of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C. Sir:
Having heretofore called your attention to the bands of Kickapoo and other Indians sheltering on the West bank of the Rio Grande in the vicinity of Eagle Pass, and above, and who are depredating upon the frontier of Texas, and pre- suming the Dept. desires all the information concerning them that is reliable, I take the liberty of forwarding herewith Copy of part of a letter from the Hon R. W. Black of this State, who was requested by me to ascertain their disposition, locality, number and the prisoners among them. Very recently the Comd'g officers of U. S. forces at Fort Clark attacked and broke up a band of these raiders while on one of their marauding expeditions. I approve of the sugges- tions of Mr. Black in regard to the removal of the Kickapoo and the probable chances of the others being induced to go with them.
