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 our 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that the state troops can now be withdrawn with safety, and desire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
gave given your people in their isolated homes.

Like information has this day been given General Colby.

Very repsectfully yours,
signature
Major General Commanding
