The publication program under which the printing of this book by the Archives Division of the Texas State Library is ac- complished fulfills in part the legislative mandate to "edit and preface for publication copies of the Texas Archives." That the general public has enthusiastically received the three pre- ceding volumes of the Texas Indian Papers is shown by the sales figures. A limited budget allowed the printing of only four hundred copies of each volume, and the first book, covering the period 1825-1843, has been sold out for almost a year now. The other volumes are selling at a satisfying rate. The State Archivist is honored to have had a hand in the completion of this four-volume set of books just as he was pleased to have been a member of the Archives staff when the initial publication was undertaken. To Dr. H. Bailey Carroll, Professor of History at the University of Texas, and Dorman H. Winfrey, Archivist at the University of Texas, go much credit for training and encouragement.
