TEXAS INDIAN PAPERS, 1860-1916
Governor,
I beg leave to Call your attention to the enclosed, which It is written by Mr. Charles Callaghan who has a large sheep-farm half way between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, on the road from this place to Laredo, and shows the need of Cavalry protection. There are quite a number of other letters in town here I received by last mail from Laredo. (recd by last mail,) showing that the Indians are committing the most dreadful destruction of life and property in the coun- try between Fort Ewell on the Nueces, and Laredo, as well as in the Country above and below Laredo, along the Rio Grande. Without Cavalry troops at Frt. McIntosh, Laredo, and at or near Fort Ewell, an immense amount of valuable property will be destroyed, and valuable lives sacrificed.
I am respecty etc etc THOMAS A. DWYER
