Dear Sir,
Dr Coffin of Natchez a most respectable man and a practitioner of the Thompsonian school desires Lo send to his son now in your army, a number of the Mississippi volunteers, a box of medicines and desires thal they may consigned lo your care. On our march lo your army, young Mr. Coffin was very successful in checking the bowel complaints that made their appearance among us, with the simple preparations he had with him. From experience I consider these medicines very vah1able especially in diseases of this kind to which our camps are particularly subject- It must he extremely gratifying to you to learn thal the subject of recognizing the independence of Texas is already before Congress, and I have no doubt will be favourably acted on before their adjournment. I hope that with the consent of the people of Texas, one step more will be taken, and Lhal your country will ere Jong be joined lo us as a component part of the confederacy. Messrs.
