PAPERS OF MIRABEAU BuoNAPARTE LAMAR
No. 2128 1842 Mar. 3, J. S. :MAYFIELD AUSTIN, [TEXAS] TO M. B. LAMAR, GALVESTON, [TEXAS.) 63 • Austin 3rd. March 1842 Dear Genl. I wrote to you some weeks since f>• but this morning Judge Webb shewed me your lette~G relative to the publication over the sig- nature of "A" in the Texian of the 26th. Ult. · This calls to me recollection the course pursued by Genl. Hunt whilst here; and the probabilaty that he will attempt to draw you into a correspondence with him. I would strongly urge you not to suffer yourself to indulge in any diplomacy with him upon the subject but throw back promptly upon him the fact that he made the propositions stated in the Article signed "Aristades" In relation to the subject of your letter to Judge Webb I will render any service in my power in ferreting out the true author of "A" it is generally believed here to be Ani,on Jones, and if so he should in some way be held responsible. I am writing at Judge Webb's table, who requests me to say that upon consultation with Dr Chalmers & myself, it is determined to call upon the Editor of the Texian immediately upon his return from San Antonio where he is at this time, and will inform you of the result. I shall be at the Island with my family the last of this month Your friend
truly J. S. Mayfield . [rubncl
