Head Quarters Nov. 8, 1835 In addition to my recommendation as lo the usefulness of Dr. Richardson as an agent in some parts of the U.S. I have to acid that he can be of great use in procuring men and vessels to protect our coasts and in stimulating men and popular opinion in favor of the cause of Texas and of the constitution.- I am however of the opinion that all depends on an immediate organization of a civil govt. and also of an army with an experienced military man to command it- Not one moment should be lost in doing this-all, everything depends upon it-Delay will be ruinous- Tl1ere must be a Govt. to give confidence to our system- S. F. Austin The communication of the council of 30 ult. giving an account of the supplies of cloalhing, cannon etc on the road have been recd.-and have given great satisfaction-hurry on reenforce- inents S.
