Gonzales. October 10th 1835.
I herewith enclose you the resolutions adopted by the members elect of
the General Consultation and of the officers of the army of the people now
at this place, by which the members of the consultation who meet on the
18th [15th] will be informed of the wishes of those who are with the army
and also of the officers. The recommendations contained in the resolutions
were adopted after the most mature discussion with but one dissenting
voice.
It is expected that a definitive organization of the army will take place
today and that the line of March will be taken up tomorrow for Bexar.
S. F. Austin
Chairman of meeting
To the members of the General Consultation who meet on the 15 Instant.
[Resolutions]
Resolved That the chairman of this meeting be instructed to address the
members of the consultation, requesting all of them who can to repair to
the Camp of the Volunteers armed and equipped for battle and when so
assembled if war is necessary to aid in fighting the battles of the country—
but if their services can be spared from the field to determine on holding
the Consultation at such time and place as the majority of the members
may agree upon.
Resolved, That if any portion of the members of the convention meet at
the time and place appointed and find it impracticable to repair to the
camp as invited in the foregoing resolution that they be requested even if
they amount to a quo[r]um to adjourn from day to day and suspend all
action until the 1st November
Adopted—October 10. 1835
