III. Had another conference with Bic Horse
and his company of Cheyennes who promised |
their influence and assistance in procuring the |
attendance of the Kiowa chiefs at the proposed |
council impressed upon them the necessity |
OF their cooperation with the government at |

KiowaS and other raiding Indians, as their own |
safety as a people depended largely on the course
pursued.

The Cheyenne chiefs promised to come in TO the |
agency us soon as the tribe makes 4 move in |
that direction, which they design doing in few /
days. They womb send me no talk, as they |
were coming to see me in person shortly. The |

the oldest person supposed TO be about eight |

Satanta's brother; says that soldiers from Texas
came near capturing a strong party of Kiowas /
on a tributary of Red river from the south, but |
were discovered by small party from the rear, /
who notified the camp just in season to enable /
them to make their escape.
