TEXAS INDIAN PAPERS, 1846-1859
32
In November last a Council was held with a Wichita Chief accompanied by the Waco, Tawakoni and Keechi. I am much gratified to state, that we succeeded in making a treaty with them, The Wichita heretofore never having con- sented to treat with us, the treaty alluded to, is already on file in the War Dept. and conforms to the treaties made with other Indian tribes. It must be a source of congratulation, that during the past year as well as at the close of our separate national existence, we have been and are at peace with all -men both red and white. Convinced that the good effects of the Indian policy pursued by the late administrations of the Republic for the past four years, have become the more evident, as the more tested, I have the honor to repeat the assurance of distinguished consideration with which I remain.
