Eu MERCER TO AusTIN
23d Sept 1835
DEAR SIR, The presant time is both critical, and important. Critical on account of our disorganized situation; and difficult because our rights are invaded when we are without resourses. The people hail your appearance in Texas at this time as one of the happiest events; because they believe you are capable of managing our difficult affairs better than we could without you. We wish you to head the preasant expedition against General Coss in person believing your presance will be much neaded; to unite the people, enforce obedience-, and to plan the movements of the troops. Believe me Sir I use no flattery with you but speak what I believe to be the truth in friendship. We are all alive to the cause of defense in this part, and will attend to every thing that will promote the cause we a,r~ about to imbark in. We know no party here, but are united in the General cause. The subject of the Consultation will be promptly attended to in this part. Eu MERCER [Addressed:] Col Austin San Felipe Texas
