(1299) [BURNET to HOUSTON]
Oakland, San Jacinto Novr. 26th 1835
Genl. Sam Houston My dear Sir
Permit me to introduce lo your acquaintance my worthy
friend Thomas I-1. Brenan Esq.
Mr. Brenan proceeds to San Felipe with a view to join the army. He is a gentleman of high and honorable spirit and entitled to all confidence. You will find him on intimate acquaintance worthy of your esteem. I regret that I have been unable to be with you in the Convention for it would have given me a high gratification to unite my feeble voice with yours in opposing the attempted declaration of independence, for I always have and do still consider such a measure as fraught with ruin to Texas and as worthy only the fame of Him of Salamanca. With cordial wishes for your happiness &c. I am yours &c l'v.c. D:n:icl G. Burnet
