Dear Col.
Since you departure from our City, we have held another meeting in behalf of the Tcxasians. The Gov. Street Church was crowded to overflowing. A general and increasing sympathy exists for noble cause of the constitutional struggle. On i\londay next we propose to ship lo the care & disposal of the New Orleans Comm. from twenty lo fifty Volunteers armed both in spirit & body for War, war lo the knife. Liberal contrilmlions have Leen made in this place, & if money men & ardent wishes can accomplish any thing, Texas will soon he redeemed. Success lo the Cause.
Yours Sincerely Jno. R. Kin·~
[Addressed:] Col. James B. Bonham New Orleans
