Letter
Jarvis to Edward F. McCook, December 15, 1871
[Inclosure 5.]
Mr. Jarvis to Mr. McCook.
Custom-house, Lavedo, Texas,
December 15, 1871.
December 15, 1871.
General: I inclose herewith the declaration of M. Castaweda, the chief of the Mexican custom-house guards, a very respectable man, whose evidence with regard to the Indians will be strong, as he is a Mexican citizen and official.
The party who followed the Indians came back, having gone nearly to Fort Clark. The Indians, as they were informed by the citizens there, had been seen to cross the river into Mexico, but as they could not testify to their own knowledge, I did not take their declarations.
I am, &c.,
SAMUEL M. JARVIS.
