No. 2031 1841 May 25, J. S. MAYFIELD, CINCINNATI, [TEXAS] TO M. B. LAMAR, AUSTIN, [TEXAS] 78 Cincinnatti 25th May 1841 Dear General. In my letter 79 to you from the Island, I believe I omitted to mention to you that I transmitted a further remonstrance to Mr Mc- Intosh, against Mr. Saligny, and' setting forth new grounds for his re- call. To wit that of his stirring up public meetings for the purpose of passing resolutions censuring the Government, & complimentary to himself, thereby producing domestic discord and dissention. While at the Island, he stated the reason he did not take his passports was, that he knew the people would not sustain the government, in what he called outrages against him- that he liked the people verry much, & would mingle with them untill a change of administration &c. I flatter myself you will approve the additiomd step I took. I was de- tained at the Island Sir, and the movements of Genl. Houston- They both lost ground and effected nothing. I am glad it was not concluded to have a called session- immediately after the elections it will be popular & I hope useful. I am now satis- fied nothing could have been affected to advantage either financially, or Politically. . Nothing can be hoped from Genl. Rusk- He has lost friends & cast-;- It will be difficult for him again to assume an imposing position• Relative to the mission to England, there is but one sentiment, that it will not do to send Genl. Green, Mr Watrous will not go- I will spend but a few days at Nacogdoches, as I presume, i.he U. S. will soon be ready to enter into the negotiation of a treaty with us- If they will not negotiate it at Austin will it not be well to join some person with Col. Bee. I do not think he understands fully the ill'l.- portance of all the questions involved- again he appears to yield too readily I shall endeavour to be in Austin by the 15th. June.
Yours truly
J. S. Mayfield
