THE AUSTIN PAPERS
This committee must beg of you to communicate without delay, with the People on Red River, in Pecan Point country, and request them to send members to the proposed General Consultation. They are Texans, and their interests and rights are identified with those of all Texas. This committee in conclusion, recommend that the delegation from each district, bring with them an exact census of the population, and return of the Militia from their districts, to lay before the General Consultation. Very Respectfully, Your Fellow Citizens.

AUSTIN TO JAMES F. PERRY
Sept. 14. 1835
DR BROTHER, I have the pleasure to say that there is the most perfeel union in this part of the country- I have never witnessed a more harmonious meeting in my life than the one at this place on the 12 th - Resolutions were adopted approving in substance of those of the Columbia meeting recommending a consultation- All goes on very well-union is all that Texas needs- I have recd very favorable news from Bexar and think they will send mem- bers to the consultation-in short all Texas will go together and that makes all safe-union is all- The mode of proceding is not so material, pro- vided union is the result, and the one that has been adopted of consultation I think will produce this result- I am regulating•a place to live in for the present, so as to have room to do business and think that Austin had better remain there untill October- Simon has the fever, and I fear that Austin will take it, if he comes up this month- I think, as I told you when there, that one of the Whartons ought to be elected to the consultation. • Love to Emily and the children, STEPHEN
