as you shall have raised a sufficient number of men you will report to the Head Quarters of the Texian Army it is important that you should report as early in the fall as practicable as I have no doubt the campaign will open much earlier than is now anticipated.
Respectfully yours Thos. J. Rusk Brig. Gen. Comg. Texian Army
