LETTER FROM E. M. PEASE TO ROBERT S. NEIGHBORS
Executive Office Austin Texas
20 April 1854
Maj RS Neighbors Dear Sir
I enclose for your information a statement, sent to this office by G B Erath Esq of Waco McLennan County, of some thefts lately committed in Bosque County by the Tonks. He rep- resents that there is much excitement in that neighborhood, and some apprehension of more serious difficulties with the Indians. I do not know whether the Tonks are under your agency, but I have thought it my duty to advise you of these proceedings promptly, trusting that you may be able to exercise some influ- ence in preventing further depredations by this tribe- Your favor of the 10th inst received some days since, and in accordance with your suggestions I have written to the Secre- tary of War urging such changes in relation to the treatment of the Indians, and in the military service on the frontier as will give efficient protection to our Citizens- Very respectfully Your obt servt EM PEASE
