(1) Fort Concho, Texas August 31st, 1880
To the Editor of the Indianapolis News,
Having seen an article published in your paper of August 20th headed "Frontier Affairs" giving the impressions of a gentleman of your city, who had been on the frontier and recently returned and which reflects unfavorably and rather severely upon the recent [strike] operations of the troops; of this Military District; against the Indians under Victorio, I desire to state the facts. [word underlined]
The information which leaves such false impressions
upon the mind of the gentleman referred to, was indirectly obtained from that disreputable class of citizens who infest this section of the frontier, and who are always ready and eager to "take the soldiers in the rear" while engaged with the enemy in his front.
