HoN. L. F. LINN: DEAR SIR:
Yours of 1st. instant I received to-day on my return from Philadelphia, (where I went, at the solicitation of a committee from there,) in conjunc• tion with my colleagues, Archer and Wharton, to attend a Texas meeting on the 2d. I presume you have seen in the Philadelphia papers the result of the meeting- (see the Pennsylvania Inquirer, U. S. Gazette, Ledger, etc.) It was very enthusiastic and ardent in the cause of Texas, and was held in a IFrom the St. Louis Commercial Bulletin, June 3, 1836, in Collections of the Wis- consin Historical Society. The Bulletin gives credit to the- Baltimore Republican for the letter. Linn was United States Senator from Missouri.
