Jesus del Moral to To the Secretary of the State Government , Saltnio. A true copy of the original, which I certify, Saltillo , May 10, 1875 , the secretary being absent. RAMON L. FLORES, Assistant Officer pro tem, April 20, 1875

As a special commissioner from the State of Coahuila to make arrangements for the transportation of certain tribes to their American reservations, I have the honor of informing the superior government, through you, that a number of Indians (given below) have left for the reservation of the American Army. This number is composed of the different tribes settled in the State, a few of the kickapoos, for the most part women, remaining at the Nacimiento, district of Monclova, a few more at the hacienda de la Cadena, near Durango, and some Lipans at the Remolino, with whom the American commission was not able to make any arrangements, Mr. Atkinson having been suddenly called away by the President. Mr. Atkinson stated that the new commissioner would be here within twenty days to end these negotiations. One hundred and fifteen Kickapoos—men, women, and children—9 Comanches, 26 Mescaleros, 5 Lipans; total, 155. Independence and liberty.
