Recommending Deaf Smith, who thinks he can induce Mexican cavalry at San Antonio to desert

Oct 15. 1835

Dear Sir

The bearer Erasmus Smith is well known to you—I have conversed with him and learn that the cavalry of San Antonio are disaffected to the cause with which they are serving. He thinks he can render Service to us in a certain way—Do consider if some thing cannot be done by assurances to the disaffected through this channel.

C. B. Stewart

Col S F Austin Comd-in [Chief] at camp

N B He is well known to me perhaps you may not recall him immediately—having travelled with him and received service and assistance at his hands perfectly disinterested I believe that he can be trusted to any extent his abilities and infirmity may warrant
