Very Respectfully, Your Obt. Servt. GEORGE T. WOOD [Endorsed] Order to Capt. S. P. Ross to muster in company of Rangers. [George T. Wood, Executive Record Book, Number 31, Page 53.l No. 82 LETTER FROM G. T. WOOD TO CITIZENS OF NAVARRO COUNTY Executive Office, Austin, May 3, 1848. To Citizens of Navarro County. Gentlemen, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your com- munication of the date of 31st March last. Earlier attention should have been bestowed upon it but for the absence of the Executive from the Seat of Government on a short visit to his family. I can scarcely bring myself to the belief that Maj. Neigh- bors would have acted so ind'iscreetly as to have granted per- mission for any purpose to Indians to come into the settlements.
