R.R. ROYALL TO AUSTIN
San Felipe 9 th October 1835
DEAR COL. Your Express arrived from the Army at 10 oclock last night at 4 this morning Our Express left for Matagorda I sent Public and Private Letters lo Excite the People to turn out, to send the rifle Powder and Lead in haste •by Beason's as directed and the cannon will go as soon as Possible. I fear it cannot reach Beason's sooner than 14th or 15th But you may no doubt 'T. .M. Thompson was an English commander of the .Mexican war schooner Correo. The proclamation (July 26, 1835), warned colonists against organizing the militia. See Publications of Southern History Association, IX, 172 (May, 1905) for a copy of the proclamation.
