Texas Sir: Yours of the 14th inst. recd., for which, I am greatly obliged. Were no persons killed, wounded, capture, or chased etc, by Indians in your County? If so, please inform me. Have any murders, or depredations, been com- mitted, in unorganized counties adjoining you? If so--please furnish me the most reliable information you can get, on the subject. I would greatly prefer it, if you can furnish me dates, or even the nearest approximate dates, as to the time, the horses, reported by you, were stolen. This is important in all cases, either of raids, murders, or thefts. If you can report the raids, numbers, tribe etc I will esteem it a favor. I will demand of Genl. Griffin, that he issue an order requir- ing property recovered,-to be turned over to the owner, upon proof of the same.
