where they intend to make a settlement and apprehending that they will be exposed to Indian depradations in that unsettled region I beg leave respectfully to suggest to you the propriety of detaching the company of rangers now under your command to protect them. Should you think proper to comply with this request I will ascertain the time those people intend leaving Braunfels and inform you of it.

I have the honour to be most respectfully Your obedient servant
