ture of those who committed the depredations referred to above -In addition to the foregoing we have satisfactory information that a number of parties of Indians have either been seen or have committed depredations in many parts of the county but short distances north & West of us. The settlements are not able to keep up a constant force for their own protection & the United States posts which are intended to cover this part of the frontier have but few troops & do not accomplish any thing like protec- tion against Indian incursions & their punishment after commit- ting outrages.- We therefore respectfully petition Your Excellency to order the raising of a sufficient company of Rangers for the purpose of Scouring the Country between here & the Pedernales. We think a force equal in number to half a company kept constantly in service would afford protection to this part of the frontier, & save the property of the citizens from pillage & most probably save valuable lives
