January 1840 CE

Three Comanche emissaries, after several years of war and a major smallpox epidemic, enter San Antonio and ask for peace on January 10, 1840, offering to send a large contingent of their leaders in twenty-three days to secure a new peace.

They return a white boy as a show of sincerity.

Colonel Karnes receives them, listens to their story, and agrees, but admonishes them by saying that a lasting peace can be negotiated only when the Comanches give up the Anglo captives that they hold, estimated at thirteen.
