Abstract
"On my assuming command of this post I found 380 Indians located about 300 yards below this fork, as follows; 120 bucks, 170 squaws and 90 children almost in a state of starvation; as they are under no one's charge and no one to care for them, they must lookout for them-selves. They are the remnant of nearly 1,100 Indians that were brought in from Owen's River by the Second Cavalry California Volunteers and placed on Tejon Reservation in the charge of the Indian superintendent, but afterward moved from the reservation to this place by order of headquarters Department of the Pacific, which order I cannot find at this post. Upon inquiry of the Indians through the interpreter Jose Chico, I find that they all wish to be sent to the Tule River farm to enable them to raise something for their subsistence, as they are unable to do it here."
