Efforts to forward large cannon

San Felipe 25th Octr 1835 8 oclock A. M.

Genl Austin

My health is Very Bad I have had an Interview With Mr Borden and the more we talk of the Large Cannon the more we feel the necessity of for- warding them as Ordered. Doctr Hoxey having met Persons who discouraged the Project turnd his course and went above to endeavor to Raise a Company of Volunteers. Mr Borden has concluded that he will try to get some person capable to Go below and Carry the Canon on trucks. If Large wheels, cannot be had, and probably Mr Borden will Go himself If Pettus does not Return today (he being absent) Mr Borden thinks he can take the canon there in two weeks, I will write you the progress by the next opportunity.
