Hon: W. G. Cooke Sec. War and Marine Sir In relation to Indian affairs, I have briefly to say t.hat noth- ing material has occurred since my last annual report. The Indians in general have manifested the best disposition to maintain inviolate the treaties made with them and to meet us in peace and friendship. The Comanche upon our invitation met us in Council in Sep- te.mber last, appropriate talks and interchange of Civilities passed between the parties-presents were made them to the ex- tent of their wishes and gratified with their reception, they re- turned to the Prairies. The various tribes of minor consideration also attended the assemblage and joined in a renewal of their protestations of friendship.
