Executive Department Velasco 3 Sept. 1836

To Messrs T Toby & Brother Gentn

The bearer, Major Thos W Ward, proceeds to New Orleans on business connected with this Government. He has heretofore rendered important service in recruiting men, and although we would by no means be understood as establishing an officer for any such purpose, still I am of opinion Major Ward can be very useful to this government, and will much facilitate your operations and lighten the burden of your duties by remaining in your city. You will render to Major Ward every aid in your power and from time to time supply him with such funds as may be necessary to the transaction of the business assigned to him.
