ROBERT T. CONRAD TO AUSTIN
Philada. April 12, 1836.
SIR,
Having a brother engaged in the cause of Texas, I myself feel a deep interest in its progress and an anxious desire to promote, by any means in my power, its success. For that purpose, I ~m desirous of lending my feeble aid to excite, in its favour, the sympathies of our public, and secure it, as well the advantage of a _recognition by Congress, as more direct and ef- fectual aid, by collections etc. This has caused, and I hope will excuse, this intrusion upon you, I would have called upon and consulted you during your stay in the City, but was myself absent. I have succeeded in enlisting the press of this city in favour of popular movements and have issued a call for a meeting preparatory to a general town meeting. I should like to have your views in relation to the proper course to be adopted and the measures most likely to prove serviceable to the cause--if any such are within the scope of [y J our power. Should you return to Phil I w:ill be happy to wait on you- if not, I would be gratified to learn if any, and what, course, will be calculated to promote the cause of Texas- ROBERT T. CONRAD The brother referred to is Edward Conrad-a member of the Texian Convention and one of the Committee to draw up the Declaration. Col. S. F. Austin.
