SI 1S July 1st. 1832. Dear _Bir, This once happy and prosperous country is now a perfect · charnel house of anarchy al;ld confusion, and it appears, as if every bad passion was 1miting for the complete destruction of the Country But one possible course is now left to save us all. We must be :firm and faithful to this government, that ·has ·done so much for us, and every man must now take that side and stick to his oath. You must not spare horse flesh, nor labor nor pains nor fatigue rouse up the Curtises, the .Burlesons, the Bartons, and all the other adopted sons of .this government - I call upon you in the name of our father and protector, Stephen F. Austin, -rfidelity t9 Mexico, acts and -deeds, are now the watch words. And in you I confide Let the proclamation spread all through the hills and woods of Colorado, but this once and we save our Colony and our misled fellow citisens who have taken up arms on the other side. If the bearer wants a horse or any thing to pr.,secute his trip furnish him with it and any thing else that may be necessary Austin will be here among us by the time of the meeting on the 7th. he was at fatamoros on the 20th. June,
very resp~ctfully yrs Samuel M Williams [rubric]
