Majr Genl Sam Houston, Commr. in chief , Dear Sir:
I have just arrived here 21 hours from the Government (at Col. G. T. Grose's) on my way to the U. S. to fulfil the orders named in my last to you, and having understood your Army was much in want of ammunition have bought with my private funds. and sent to you all the shot at this place for the troops from the Red Lands. I hope it will reach you in good time. I should like to see you, to say much to you, but the urgency of my business just allows me time to invoke the blessing of Heaven upon your arms.
Your obt servt T. J. Green, Brig. Genl. of the Texas Army
