TEXAS INDIAN PAPERS, 1846-1859 239 have been within thirty-yards of Capt Peck's house, and into Mr. Hill's field. They boldly rode up to a working man near Mr Beverly's and enquired for stock. Fearing to approach the house, they went to a neighbor's and took twenty four horses. For some time they nightly beset the premises of Col. Skiles, and on Sunday, the 9th inst, they were near his place-All in this neighborhood. They have been in the immediate vicinity of Goliad. Many of these facts we are informed you are in possession of. Others could be added. These occurrences are seriously injuring this part of the country. The citizens west of the San Antonio are kept in con- stant alarm, and have little security for property or life. In view of these facts, we would ask your Excellency to authorize the raising of a company of Rangers, of not less than fifty men, for the protection of the country between the San Antonio and Nueces Rivers, and as high up as the Atascosa. We desire the Capt. particularly to be one whose interests are identified with the country he is called to guard; and would recommend H. A. Greenwood---- as a suitable person. Our citizens are now endeavouring to engage men enough (at $25 per month) to form a small company for our protection until we procure aid from your Excellency. J. A ROBBINS P. NEWMAN H. W.
