To WILLIAM P. N. MARLIN 1 Executive Department, Washington, April 18th 1843.
To William P. N. Marlin/ Esq. Sir- You are to deliver to Acahquash the two Waco prisoners. They are girls- Nancy and Fanny- and he will take them to their tribe. This is all-important; and if they are averse to going, I wish you to use every inducement to get them to go with him. I wish you to have them well clothed and let them have blankets. The government will pay you for the articles. You may tell them that the chief says they shall come back at the council in four moons, if they wish to do so. By complying with the request contained in this letter you will oblige me very much, and confer an essential favor upon your country. Sam Houston. lPavers on Indian Affairs; also Executive Record Book, No. 40, p. 249, Texas State Library. !!William P. N. Marlin. For an account of the Marlin family see James T. De Shields, Bo1·der Wa1·s of Texas, 276-278.
