Genl McKinzie it is all right--He can take Satanta &c back to Richardson with him, and it will I know [underlined] do the Kioway a heap of good. If you and McKenzie can lay a trap to catch some party of horse thieves in Texas, near the line and hang every one of them it will stop this raiding. Insist on the surrender to Mr. Warren of 41underlined Good mules? and tell Kicking Bird--when he comes in, which he will be sure to do sooner or later, that if another raiding party goes from the Reservation to Texas we will have to search his Camps for Stolen Stock and if that wont do, we must abrogate the Treaty, declare them outlaws, and open their Reservation to Settlement--we are all very well and on account of horseflies will take the stage here--will write again from Fort Leavenworth--Please send copy of this to me

at Washington.  Love to Mrs. Grierson Charly & all the folks. [Gen]] Sherman
