Dear General Sherman,

                    I received a few days since a letter from you.  I do not know iif you are aware of the arrangements already made for changing the 4th and 10th cavalry.
                   The 4th is to go to Till the new post on or near  Mclelellan Creek and to Richardson.  The tenth to Concho, Mcthavett, Griffin, Davis and Stochton, and the Companies of the ninth, more coming in from the Indian country to take the place of the fourth at Clark and Duncan.   Giving to the unprecedented rains of this winter, the troops out cannot get in as soon as anticipated, and in consequence, the movements for exchange of Posts and for the establishment of the new Post may not commence as soon as contemplated--the first of March.  But they will commence so soon as the condition of the wades will warrant unless I receive orders to the contrary.  The movements referred to were determined upon under the direction of Lieut. General Sheridan.  A number of Comanches have recently gone to Mexico and will Endevor, I believe, to arrange for a residence there--finding it no longer safe on this side.  If they do we shay have a recurrence of raids from that side.  In a recent letter to General {F]uero the Mexican Commandandante at that frontier, I requested his interference to prevent this.  I am unable to course to say how far he may be willing or able to do anything.
                   What few Comanches and Kiowas are now absent from Lill, are on the Pecos, at points from its mouth to the Guadelupe Mountains and I propose in the spring to start a column from Fort Clark
