Indian Papers of Texas and the Southwest, Vol. V

The under- signed also believe that their situation entitles them to a fair share of the patronage of the Government,-as far as concerns formation and pay of companies of Rangers for the protection of the frontier, whence their settlements are, as may be said, the van-guard of the rest of the state.

Kinney, some idea of their sufferings and now firmly be- lieving that all will be done in your power to assist them, they remain, very respectfully.
