TEXAS INDIAN PAPERS, 1860-1916
To the
Mayor of City Council of Musquis Presidency of the
Council of the City Zaragosa No. 10
The documents I send you with with the present com- munication shall inform you of the fight delivered the 25th of this month between the Kickapoo indians and Lipan, the latter having been in their camp located on the North side of the River San Diego a distance of ______ leagues from this city. The Kickapoo who assaulted the population of Lipan made their entrance in the point Nataji situated in the Western Wilderness, and for this reason-the community of the Remolino did not observe them, and they surprised the Lipan at sunset of the day mentioned, the Lipan lost five men, six women and two prisoners twenty five horses and three tents. My explanations I justify with the documents mentioned, that I may be without responsibility in the future. I also gave notice to the Mayor of Musquis of this event, exhibiting the common utility of the frontier-to induce the Kickapoo that they return the two prisoners and also the twenty five horses. All this I mention to you with the design indicated for the superior deliberation of the first authority of the state- I assure you of my high countenance & esteem- Independence & Liberty To the Citizen Zaragosa Sec of the Superior Government at Coahuila of Zaragosa [Endorsed] Report upon Indians 30th May 1868 PREFECTO ADANI
