Indian Papers of Texas and the Southwest, Vol. V

PREFACE

This additional volume of the Indian Pa- pers of Texas in no way conflicts with the plan of the earlier four volumes; rather it is intended as a supplement. The original plan called for the printing of the file in the Ar- chives known as "Indian Papers," a design which was completed in four volumes. The letters for this, the fifth volume, were ac- quired by combing through the executive cor- respondence from 1846-1859 and selecting 276 items which pertained to Indian affairs. The pattern of editing has followed the one estab- lished in the original plan.
