HEADQUARTERS DIVISION OF THE MISSOURI.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

In the Field, Pine Ridge, S. D., January 11, 1891

Brig. General W. F. Cody,

Nebraska National Guard, Present.

Sir: -

I am glad to inform you that the entire body of Indians are now camped near here (within a mile and a half). They show every disposition to comply with the orders of the authorities. Nothing but an accident can prevent peace being re-established, and it will be out ambition to make it of a permanent character. I feel that the State troops can now be withdrawn with safety, and desire through you to express to them my thanks for the confidence they have given your people in their isolated homes.

Like information has this day been given General Colby.

Very respectfully yours,

Major General Commanding
