Camp Witchita, Indian Territory. Wednesday, April 21 1869.
Dear General,
On Sunday I wrote you quite a long letter about my trip up the Washita with Jones, and of the necessity of my going East, the first of May. Monday morning I sent a note by Pratt to be mailed at Fort Arbuckle today, in which I reported the sudden departure that morning of thirty or forty lodges of Little Robe's band of Cheyennes. The party was headed by "Red Moon". While I was writing to you Major Kidd, who has been "spoiling for a fight" ever since he came to this District, concluded to pursue and punish the run-a-ways at any rate, upon his own account, and accordingly stopped all work, ordered every extra and daily duty man to this company &c. The Little Raven, Big Mouth, Roman Nose, Yellow Bear, Little Robe and Bald Eagle came over Horse's Back and Queen-a-heavy with them, and the matter was fully discussed.
