     From Richard C. Adam's, The Delaware Indians, a Brief History, p. 42:  Comanche Agency, Tex, January 1, 1857. The bearer of this letter, John Conner, a Delaware Indian, has been my interpreter for the last two years, and has been known to me for many years. I recommend him to the kindness of all Americans who may meet him. I know him to be a man of truth, honesty, and integrity. He has been on the frontier of Texas for nearly thirty years, and has rendered to the government's important services so much that the State of Texas has given him a league of land and made him a citizen of that State. I ask of all who may meet Mr. Conner a kind reception, and can assure them that the people of Texas, who know him, will appreciate it. The man who has devoted the best of his life in trying to make peace with the wild and warlike tribes on our frontier, who has often risked his life and lost his property, is certainly entitled to the kindness and respect of the people he has served so faithfully. I therefore ask that Mr. Conner may meet with the kindness that he so well deserves from all good citizens. John R. Taylor, Indian Agent, Texas Indians
