390 They further say that Jim Barcley has been their agent for nearly two years. They believe he does not wish them driven off, and that he is now a friend to them. And if they have the power to choose an agent, they would choose him, because they fear that they might otherwise get an agent who would consent to their removal. Woodville December the 29th 1859

Gen Houston Dear Sir-The Indians whose names are signed above have been at my house to day, and I have written the substance of their wishes and declarations as well as my imperfect knowledge of their language, and their ignorance of mine would permit. They are good and worthy men, have been greatly wronged in former times, but have recently been cared for, & to some extent, indemnified for former wrongs and losses. They live comfortably, and have in abundance the necessaries of life.
I am very respectfully H. C. PEDIGO
H. C. Pedigo- Woodville, Texas December 29/1869- Accompanying a petition from certain chiefs of the Alabama Indians. Recd. Jany 4, 1860-
