ST. LOUIS, MO., October 13, 1868.
Brevet-Major General W. B. HAZEN,
Fort Cobb,
(via Fort Arbuckle), Indian Territory.
GENERAL:
I want you to go to Fort Cobb, and to make provisions for all
478
I wish you to remain at Fort Cobb, or in that vicinity as patiently as you can, looking to the time when all that are left of the Kiowas, Comanches, Apaches, Cheyennes, and Arapahoes are gathered there. Afterward at our leisure they can be conducted to and established on their appropriate Reservations as defined in the Medicine Lodge Treaty.
I am with respect,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) W. T. SHERMAN,
Lieutenant-General, Commanding.
