Austin Texas, 24. March 1854 Executive Office

R. S. Neighbors Esqr

U. S. Indian Agent Dear Sir,

I take the liberty of sending you a copy of the proceedings of a public meeting of the citizens of Webb County, held at Laredo on the 11th Inst- on the subject of the robberies and murders recently committed in that vicinity by the Indians, from which you will perceive that they ascribe these outrages to the Lipan, of which tribe I believe you are the Agent. The evidence on which their opinion is based seems to be satisfac- tory, and irrestably [sic] leads to the conclusion, that some mem- bers of that tribe are connected with these depredations. I respectfully request that you will endeavor to ascertain the truth of these charges and also that you will take measures to restrain the excursions of this tribe from their present loca- tion. Yours with respect. EM PEASE IE. M. Pease, Executive Record Book, Number 35, Page 71.l

No. 124 LETTER FROM E. M. PEASE TO CITIZENS OF BURNET, BELL, MCLENNAN AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES
