To the Public

I have seen with great surprise an indelicate, uncaUed for and violent attack on my character during by absence, signed Thomas F. McKinney. Being engaged in more important business, I have not time now lo notice it. IL is however unworthy of notice-for from the presumption, malice and insanity cli~coverable in it; I can only say to the writer, as Christ did on the cross, "Father forgive him, he knows not what he does." Wm. H. Wharton Brazoria, October 5th, 1835.

[Thomas F. McKinney, Quintana, to Samuel May Williams, New Orleans, October 5-6, 1835, about preparations in Texas to meet Cos, and the need for vessels to protect the coast.]
