Boni Wm Hardin Dear Sir
A fellow, by the name of Gillan, lately left the company of Abram Roberts (Rovers) having Capt. Rohertt;' horse and a pair of pistols of mine in his possession. He had gone lo Liberty and probably will push to the Sabine. 1 f you can have him arrested and sent to this place, 1 will thank you lo do so. In much haste Yours &e David G Burnet Since I scribbled the above, it has been told me that scoundrels are taking horses &c and on pretence of pressing for the public service and making for the Sabine. Do establish some police regulations, and take up and examine every fellow that 1rni;scs. Let no single man pass with a horse or Gun, press them, and take the names of all fugitives. Be energetic for nothing but energy will save the country.
David G 13umet President
