from one who you know well is no office-seeker; no speculator, no parante of present cheer, but a love by virtue and virtuous men, and the untiring upholder of your glory and happiness. I write to you, not as a partisan; but as a friend to Texas, and still more devotedly if possible, your personal, y()ur devoted friend. May Heaven grant you long life, ample opportunities of suppressing evil, & advancing good, & the just meed of patriotism; the admiration and love of all men, in all ages, & nations, where civilized men may abide. · · In great haste, your friend & fellow citizen Henry S.

The accusations reciprocally engaged in here; I, of course, have nothing to do with. The general fact of robbery & violence is that which I vouch for; & that is undoubted.
