Scope and Contents

Regarding horses stolen by the Navajos from the Jicarilla Apaches. This issue was a holdover from former Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Michael Steck who demanded that the Navajo return the animals to Agent Dodge, and Steck would see that they were returned to the Apaches, if the Apaches would stay on their farms and work. The Apaches complied, and now Graves is requesting that Meriwether authorize Dodge to release the animals and that Meriwether make arrangements for the animals’ return to the Apaches.
