To THE TEXAS SENATEL
Executive Department, Columbia, 20th Dec. 1836.
To the Hon[orable] the Senate Gentlemen I have the pleasure of presenting to you for your approval the names of Thomas J. Green/ as Senior and Felix Hustona as Junior Brigadier Generals, in the Army of Texas. I have not presented the nomination of a Major General, as there is not a Division now composing our Army, and even less, than a Brigade in the field. Whatever appointments may of necessity be made in the Army, in the recess of Congress (should your Honorable Body adjourn soon) will be with an eye single, for the good of the service, and will be most promptly submitted at the next session for your ap- proval. ·
