I have the honor herewith to enclose for your information two letters I have just received from the Indian reservations- you will peceve [perceive] that there is a prospect-of some difficulty with the Northern Comanche-I a few days since called your attention to the fact that there was no mounted troops on that portion of the frontier. I should be pleased to have your views as to the best course to pursue. Should those Indians attempt to invade our settle- ments. And how far the frontier settlers are authorized to act. in Repulsing attacks from the Indians- Any suggestions on this subject will be valued as a favor Hoping you will call the attention of the Genl Govt to the great want of protection on our frontier
