The letter is addressed to major William Ward, of the Georgia battalion, who is al present reluctant to give a copy, or I should forward it to you for use. It will be remembered that he is a stranger lo Governor Smith, having just arrived in the country. Certificates of citizenship were forwarded with all the necessary instructions with regard lo voting for members Lo the approaching election for delegates to the convention. It is unnecessary for me to detail further circumstances. The leading facts are presented to you, and I think, call for for your action. The people of Texas should be fully apprised of the acts and doings of their public agents. I shall procure the letter or a copy; but if he can deny either the leller, the language, nay, the words, or senti men ls, let him do it, and double falsehood and perjury will be added lo the catalogue of his offences and misdemeanors. In haste, I am as ever, with sentiments of high consideration, Your obedient servant, J. W. Fannin,jr., Agent Provincial Government [1873] [RICHARDSON to AUSTIN]
