George Wright to Superintendent of Indian Affairs, May 22, 1862

GEORGE M. HANSON, Esq., Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Northern District of California, San Francisco, Cal.:

SIR: I have this moment received your communication of the 21st instant, together with the letter from the judge of the county court of Del Norte, addressed to you. I have previously given orders for the company now at Fort Ter-Waw to prepare to move to the new reservation which you have selected on Smith’s River, and I was only waiting until such number of Indians should be assembled there as would render necessary the presence of troops. I will thank you to let me know what number of Indians are now on the Smith’s River Reservation, and whether all those which were near Ter-Waw have been removed.

Very respectfully, your most obedient servant,
