The treaty is said to have been one of the most important entered into between the U. S. and Western Texas, and the copy enclosed is considered one of the best preserved probably, if not the only good one in existance. It was sent to the University by Col. Merrill who was in command of the expedition. I am instructed by the Regents of the University to turn over the document to you for permanent and safe keeping.

Respectfully A. P. WOOLDRIDGE Secy.
