1st Endorsement Hq Ft. Sill, I.T. Decr 12, 1874 Respectfully forwarded to the Dept. Comdr Capt Rohe 25 Inf. Comd'g at the Wichita Agency will be instructed to see this Roll completed at once, and the daily roll call of the Penne-teth-Kas enforced. Also a platoon of cavalry will be sent up weekly to Capt.

2nd Endorsement Respectfully forwarded for the information of the Lt. General. this report shows, First, tho Agent Richards has complied but very loosely with the instructions of the Commission of Indian Affairs, concerning the enrollment of the Indians and the notification of their presence at the Agency by frequent roll calls. So far as Agent Richards knows, half of those Penne-teth-Kas Comanches may have been out with the hostile bands. Second. It furnishes additional evidence of the propriety of my request that this band of Comanches should be returned to the Agency, where it properly belongs, and where it will receive its needed supervision. It has also strengthened my view of the necessity of having the Pawnees, now at the Wichita agency, returned to their own people. (See my letter to Lt. Genl of Dec 10) Very respectfully Your obt. Servt. (Sgd) C.C. Augur Brig. Genl Comnd Official AidedeCamp
