No. 48 PETITION FROM BURLESON COUNTY TO F. R. LUBBOCK [1862 or 1863] His Excellency Governor Lubbock The undersigned Petitioners, Citizens of the Town of Lex- ington and County of Burleson, represent to your Honor, that our neighbor William Price, about 48 years of age, subject to military duty according to the Laws of Texas is by trade a Slay Maker and engaged in making Slays for the citizens of this, and adjoining counties, and being the only person engaged in that business in the bounds of a large tract of country, and every day he is absent from his business, is cause of delay in the operations of cloth making, and operates seriously in this time when so many are depending on homespun, and home made apparel. We therefore request your honor to give him a discharge from the Military service and duty.
