PREFACE
With this volume, the editors reach the limit estimated for the publication of the WRITINGS OF SAM HOUSTON. Incoming sup- plementary material greatly exceeded our hopes and expecta- tions, so that it becomes necessary to extend the work to ten volumes, including an index. The circumstances which gave rise to this collection and made its publication possible have been explained in previous Prefaces. We are indebted for contri- butions in this volume to Messrs. Temple H. Morrow, and W. A. Philpott, of Dallas, Texas, and to Mrs. Margaret John, Mrs. Madge W. Hearne, Mrs. Jennie Decker, and Mr. Ike Moore of Houston, Texas; to all of whom we return grateful thanks.
EUGENE C. BARKER.
