To ANSON JoNEs 1 Grand Cane, Trinity, 11th June, 1844.
My Dear Jones,- I am here safe and sound. I hope on to- morrow to send you this note, which will reach you in less than four days. Since I left you, I hope you have received no worse news that what I have to send you. A gentleman passed here yesterday from San Augustine, Mr. Thomas, (an old settler,) who states that he did not see but one man in a travel of three weeks, (except one,) but what would vote for yourself and K. L. Anderson, and that one was Judge Scurry,2 and he said he "had promised Burleson, and wished you elected! " The gentleman stated that you would get nearly all the votes in San Augustine, Nacogdoches, and the counties around them; and in the Red River region he states from the best information, that you would get at least two-thirds of the votes. In passing through Montgomery, I did not hear of one man that would vote for Burleson, nor do I think I saw one unless it was " Meggison."
