Executive Department Velasco 24 Sept. 1836
To Colonel James Morgan Sir
In my letter of instructions, to you of 22d inst. you are restricted lo IO per cent of intere·st to he allowed in any loan you contract for on account of this government. On further reflection it has occured to me that the important military supplies which you are charged to procure may fail lo be obtained for lack of small matter of interest, to the great detriment of the public. Should you therefore find it impracticable to negociate a loan on the term suggested in my former letter, you are authorized lo extend the rate of interest to twelve and a half per cenlum per annum. You are also authorized to receive any donations or contributions of arms, ammunition, clothing &c. that the liberal friends of human rights, may be disposed to make lo our cause and tender to such donors the warmest thanks of this government.
Your Obt. Sevt David G..Burnet
