I fear the major will be too [underline] willing to fight and that if an active does take place out there, the Arapahoes or Kiowas if near by, will come to the assistance of the Cheyennes, and all together prove too much for Kidd.
Of course I will write you the moment I hear from him. Should he succeed in forcing [underline] back the Cheyennes even by fighting them alone, it will be a very healthy [underline] movement, have an excellent effect, but there is a report [underline] that the Cheyennes heard of their hunters and throwing away all the lodges & baggage, moved rapidly West & No. all Monday night, if so, Kidd will never catch them and the attempt and failure will be worse than no attempt. Then too, I rear that Kidd may turn too much N. W. and if the Kiowas & Apaches hear of his approach, they will be very likely to become alarmed and will all leave.
