Genl Sam Houston Dear Sir .
Mr. Linn proceeds as a volunteer to your aid-his conduct since he has been among us, has been entirely unexceptionable and has induced a general impression in his favor-He does not claim any exemption from his discharge but will at any time subject himself to investigation, whenever charges are regularly preferred against him. I believe you will find Mr. Linn a useful, efficient and zealous citizen, as anxious as any other to retrieve the disasters of our suffering Country-as such I commend him to you on the present interesting occasion-in haste
Yours &c David G. Burnet
