No. 48 LETTER FROM L. H. WILLIAMS TO T. G. WESTERN
Trading House Post No. 2 February 21, 1846
Maj Thos G. Western ) ) Supt. of Indian Aff )
Dear Sir,
Gov [sic] Butler and Col Lewis U. S. Indian Commissioners arrived at this place some 6 days since, and are at present encamped at the old Council Ground, at the mouth of this Creek. I have written you for in- structions how to act towards these Gentlemen but am in receipt of no advices from you upon the subject. Concluding however that the objects of their mission are sanctioned by this Govt. I am rendering them all the assistance in my power to the fur- therance of their objects. I have delivered the Govt. poney to Maj Neighbors according to your order. The commissioners have not yet fully deter- mined whether they will hold their council at the Comanche Peak--or where they are at present encamped. Everything is all straight and quiet with the Indians so far as I am informed. Jack Harry is expected in daily with the Comanche-a portion of all the balance of the tribes (Waco, Keechi etc etc excepted)
