Besons 11th Jany 1836
My dear Friend.
I thank you a thousand times for yr. kind letters, and ten thousand times for my dear Cousins regards and kind prognostics in my favor. The bearer starts in a moment and the instant that I can r[eac]hthefronlicr I will write you about the subject ofSutler- Thus much-You may rely upon it that if you have a good station it is bery valuable and ought to be worth from $10. to 20.000$ per annum. So soon as I can get to some place where I can write, I will write to You and the Council on the subject of Hanks-But I do hereby do most solemnly revoke, the letter which I addressed to you in his behalf, as I do most seriously regard him, as the basest of all man mankind. I pray you to attend in most espescia[l] manner the appointment of my friend Major, Geo. W. Hockley as a Captain- also Bonnell make Wm. Blount Lieut of Calvary-Colonel Bonham, ought to be made a Major By all means. His influence in the army is great-more so than some who "would be Generals." You may rely upon my doing every thing for your information on the Subject of Sutler. And if I can serve you; I will only say command me! If Hanks hands you that letter retain it-I only; since I left San Felipe; have concluded, the extent of his Villany!!! I pray you to Salute my dear Cousin, with my love. Present me to my friends. write by every express. Send at least one every week.
Ever yrs. truly Sam Houston
