Announcing arrival of vessels with cannon and munitions

Quintana 11 Octo. 1835

Mr. Gray

Dr Sir The Schr. Lady Madison Capt. Robert D Moore was toed in this morning she has 7 Guns and ammunition on board which we ordered by a request of the Committee of this Jurisdiction She also has on board 75 muskets and the necessary cartouch boxes the ballance of the muskets ordered will be here on the San Felipe which is hourly expected and perhaps is now off the Bar a vessel is in sight but a considerable distance off the San Felipe was to leave two days after Moore The Lady Madison is too small to entitle debenture goods to a draw back is the reason that the muskets did not all come on her, those that have come are american manufacture. We have received letters that are to be relied on that all we want for the country is ready at short notice. Vessels men and means if vessels are placed on a footing that they will be protected are at the disposal of Texas Anxiety indeed seems to prevail to embark You may if you choose publish the facts herein contained but connect them yourself and do not publish this hurried sketch with its imperfections yours—
