the country south of San Gorgonia pass, but he did not meet
me. I am informed by persons that profess to be well acquainted
with country on the Moharra, that there is a large
section of fine agricultural land there sufficient to
support several thousand Indians. The country lies
about 75 miles N.E. of San Bernardino. I am ready
at any time to go with any person to look at the country.

I am intimately acquainted with
the country inhabited by the three principal tribes
by Coahuilla, Diegenians, and San Louis Reys Indians
having visited most of the Rancherias. The overland
mail passes through some of the prinicipal Rancherias
in the county and the settlers begin to crowd the
Indians, and I think it all important that some
perminent arrangement should be made for them.

The Coahuillas, Diegenians, and
San Louis Rey Indians are all a peaceable, quiet people
and to keep whiskey from them, no trouble to govern.
They have all raised enough the past season to support them well
I think the Deigenians and San Louis Rey Indians would
