You will exclude the use of intoxicating liquors. You will be particular to expel from among them all persons who may be there contrary to the treaty stipulations, or whom you may suspect of having evil designs. You will have your eye especially upon all Mexicans; and if you have any reason to believe that they are operating upon the Indians against the people of Texas, you will bring them immediately to trial and punishment. It is known that there are now among some of the tribes, emissaries from Mexico, who, if not prevented, may break up the existing relations of peace. You will make your principal headquarters at Torrey's trading house, and report as frequently as you can to the Superintendent of Indian affairs at this place. You will be subject to his orders as well as those of the President. Sam Houston. 'Papers on lndia1i Affairs; also Executive Reco1·d Book, No. 40, p. 366, 'fexas State Library.
