To C.A. Harris esqr.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Sir,
On the 27th inst. I had the honor to
report to you from Helena Arkansas every thing of interest up to that
time relation to the removal of the party of Creek Indians under my
charge.
We have just reached this place 7 o’clock A.M.
and will proceed immediately towards Fort Gibson which place I hope we
shall be able to reach by water as the Arkansas is at present at a
good stage, and on the rise.
Two deaths occurred on the 27th but the Party at present is
healthy and nothing else of particular importance has occurred since I
last had the honor to address you upon this subject. I am Sir
Very respectfully your Obed. Servant
Edw. Deas
Lieut U.S. Army and
