that the following be sent an open letter
to the President and Cabinet, and both
houses of Congress: During the rejoicing
incident to the military display announced
to take place at Fortress Monroe. we beg to

neers have within few days been wantonly
murdered by the deyilish Apaches, whom a
cruel and mistaken policy permits to sur
yiye their crimes. II some small portion
of the expenditures incurred in your grand
display could be devoted to such measures
as would preclude the probability of an in
crease in the list of our murdered dead we
could send you greeting of gratitude and
cheer in place of this message of our sorrow
and helplessness and desolation."
