Brazos Agency Texas March 7 1859
Sir,
I have the honor to enclose copy of the reply of Maj. Geo H. Thomas 2nd Cavalry, to a requisition made on him the 3rd inst. for assistance, also copy of a letter from Capt. W.R. Bradfute, all of which is forwarded for your information. I am satisfied that the attempt to break up the reserve will be made, for every one who arrives here report the same news, and having called on Maj. Thomas for assistance which he can- not give, I am at a loss to know how to act. The balance of the Indians who went out with Capt. Ford and Maj. Van Dorn have not yet returned. lam
Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Srvt. S. P. Ross Spl. Agt. Texas Indians
