On Indian affairs & pub. property (a fuller/parallel version of doc 183): thanks for appt as Sub-Indian Agent; many chiefs report themselves, will protect as they have been peaceable; Indians on the Stanislaus good & render proper subjection — those on the Mokelumne dist. still stealing, particularly the Chausilas & Polos[?]; pub. property at this post: abt 10 muskets, 4 carbines, 100 lanzetas, 2 drums, 1 big cannon powder, 350 to 400 horses incl. all Sutter's own & U.S. & others which have been bought of their prior owners — 14 old saddles & one of the 20 mil'd soldiers also latterly come of the horses; would like to keep them longer in service as long as the Sutter Battalion are in the neighborhood — they are none to be depended on than white men; hopes to see Gen. Kearny will soon visit New Helvetia
