To Genl. Green Sir
Your communication of this act tendering me a commission of captancy in the 2nd regiment of your brigade is before me. I accept it with the hope that any service I may render may be useful to our glorious cause. I am Sir with great respect Your Obt. Servant Henry A. Hawkins (2644) [HOUSTON to ALLEN]
Camp West of Brasos, April 8, 1836
To Captain John M. Allen
Sir: Your communication under date of 4th instant is received. I am pleased to find you are on your march to join the army; and wish you to use all possible expedition in reinforcing us with your command and the cannon. Assure the inhabitants generally that the army will not cross the Brasos, unless to act with more effect against the enemy; and that the most certain way of securing their property and families, is to repair to the army and drive the invader from the soil. Those who refuse to join us will have their property confiscated, and be regarded as deserters from our cause. Sam Houston.
