Dear Sir
Mr Kerr has just forwarded to us a copy of Capt Kollinsworth Letter—
Stating his having possession of Labahia. $10000 public Stores 300 Stand
arms and some horses—of Capt Smiths and alleys having hastened to the
assistance of Capt C. to keep possession of the place Stores etc—Mr Kerr
has probably advised you of the same and of the arrival of Col Milam who
goes to San Felipe with the officers (prisoners)—We have sent on the
communication to Genl Houston and Nacogdo—to inspirit our friends
there whom we are told are afraid they will not be early enough to secure
a fight
