19 pp, issued as 25th Congress, 2d Session, HR 199; light age toning but not fragile and an untrimmed copy is self wrappers, as issued; partially tabular and certain facts withheld for national security reasons but for the moment the Indians seem peaceful enough and the real danger is from a sudden attack by the British from their bases in Halifax, Bermuda, etc., needless to say, the Department needs more money for repairs and expansion.
