<:oncerning these Indians, and the prisoners they have stolen from Texas, and give me all the information you obtain. You will perhaps, have seen the "Circular letter" sent by me to the frontier counties, asking for "reports of Indian out- rages". I hope, whenever you may find yourself on the fron- tier, you will impress the necessity of this, upon the people, & especially upon the Civil Officers. These reports should be pre- -cise, exact, and positive, as to dates, names, amount of property stolen, or destroy,-persons killed etc, and Indians committing the outrages.

No, 104 LETTER FROM J. W. THROCKMORTON TO L. V. BOGY Executive Department Austin, Texas, Jany 30th 1867
-Hon Lewis V. Bogy
Com'd'g Indian Affairs Washington, D. C.
Sir: In addition to the information sent you yes- terday concerning Kickapoo and other Indians, I have the honor also, to forward you the report of Lt. McAfferty U.S.A. made to Maj Genl Griffin upon the same subject, a copy of which has been kindly furnished me by the com'd'g officer of this military District. In will be seen by Lt. McAfferty's report that these Indians constitute quite a formidable body to be situated as they now are, with their determined and continued hostile intentions, Rendering it the more important that speedy measures should be adopted to remove them, or render their proximity harm- less. J. W. THROCKMORTON Gov of Texas [J. W. Throckmorton, Executive Record Book, Number 47, Page 251.]
