N"o. 2795 1859 Nov. 29, D. G. BURNET, GALVESTON, [TEXAS] TO M. B. LAMAR, [RICHMOND, TEXAS];.; Gah·eston Xou. 29 - 59 Genl. M. B. Lamar Dear Sir [First three paragraphs purely personal] I suppose you have by this time seen the Texas.

The old adage "truth is mighty &c" cannot be correct in these times of deluded and ignorant popular Sovereignty - thank God, I never was a democrat - and never can be - Every day's experience admonishes me of its utter fallacy - but I must close. I beg you will remember me very kindly to Mrs. Lamar - to Mrs. Alexander and my young friend Carrie - I can't say how soon I may avail myself of the kind invitation - very truly Yours &c David G Burnet No. 2796 1859 Dec. 15, JA[ME]S H.
