Thomas Toby Esqr. Texas Agent Sir
The subjoined is a copy of an official report this moment received of the proceedings of the Texian Army at La Bahia, Alias Goliad. It will be gratifying to the numerous American friends of those basely slaughtered martyrs of freedom whose Bones have so long bleached in the Prairies of La Bahia, to learn that the Citizen Soldiers of Texas have not only greatly avenged their wrongs but have bestowed upon the fragments of their mortal remains appropriate funeral honors. Their memories will never perish while Texas has a lodgment in history.
Your Obt Servl David G Burnet
