Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior: For the Year 1872 The Commissioner ver;r much regrets the error on page 96 of this Report, by which the name of Joseph Parrish is made to appear in the account of the proceedings of the commission for the pacification of the Kiowas, Comanches, &c., instead of that of Edward Parrish. The Rev. Dr. Joseph Parrish, of Media, Pennsylvania, was first appointed on this commission, and, on his declination, his brother, Professor Edward Parrish, of Philadelphia, was substituted. In the haste inci dent to sending to press a report so extensive as the present, the clerical error alluded to escaped notice until the entire edition had been struck off.
