fly from Bejar after remaining so many days there undisturbed and enjoying himself? ... [2296) [GREEN to BURNLEY] E. N. Gray
Washington 11 March 1836
Dear Sir:
It is true - the Mexican Minister has come to sell Texas to the U. States and I have no doubt the sale will be made. Santa. Anna is willing to take even less than we are willing to give-The Settlers rights-each to 4428 acres-an all secure-so will be the larger grants when the terms are complied with-or where the parties are willing to comply if the Govt will let them. Some little doubt remains, whether the recent loans to Texas will be ratified, except by a return of the money with interest. I may write you again in a few days-communicate this to our friends. It is certain , Texas will be ceded and perhaps in a few days or weeks-
Yrs. truly T. Green
