If there is positive danger of losing our life in that state we wish you to inform us of it before we start. If not we will take your silence to indicate safety. We wish to be sent to those parts only where we can receive protection. Our papers take us into the state to a different part and rout than that directioned in your last. We can go as far as the Arkansas river by our present papers which take us on to red river and up it. Will you please direct clerks of Arkansas River packs to take papers by the red river rout in payment of fare teaching. We will report to you as soon as we are prepared to go.

Very truly
S.F. Witter
