AUSTIN TO SAMUEL M. WILLIAMS
[From Williams Papers, Rosenberg Library, Galveston, Tex.]
Bexar March 211832
DnSm I leave tomorrow for Saltillo. There is nothing very important here from the interior. The Sabios of this place are very doubtfull that Santana will fail, except one, he thinks he will succeed-this one is Erasmo [Seguin], who expresses the same decided republican principles now, that he did many years ago, and I believe is the sam8 warm friend to colonization and to Texas that he was at first. Personal feelings are more violent here now, than ever, I mean amongst each other. I am told that the Ayto. here will support the memorial,1 but they think that they ought to have been consulted first and that even now if they do anything, it ought to bear a date anterior to the memorial from there, so as to make it appear that Bexar was the M ovu, and then the other Aytos. should follow in its wake. I have agreed to this idea and assured them that nothing should be said about it, you will therefore keep this part of the letter en- tirely to yourself.
