To Col P. H. BELL, DEAR SIR The period is at hand when we must bid adieu to our officers and Companions in the military Service; of the U S yet we cannot con- sent to part "with you, as our Commander without being permitted to express, in some degree the high esteem in which we hold you as a man and an officer. Ever faithful, as you have been to that Service and to the true interests of the Country, you have justly gained the love and confidence of all who have served with, or under you. The prime of you[r] life has been spent in Texas, aiding her with your personal Services and suffering much in her cause from an early period of her Revolution down to the present day; and through all the vicissitudes and trials of border warfare and frontier life, you have not only mentained the high reputation for chivalry which you so well earned at Sanjacinto, but you have preserved inviolate the lofty senti- ments of honor and the dignified deportment of the true gentleman; · and it is for these things that we now offer you from a sense of duty, this public expression of our esteem & friendship for your future pros- perity & happiness.- [Incomplete]
