Head quarters Nov. 8th 1835
To Genl. S F Austin
Sir I take this opportunity of tendering to you my resignation of the
office of Judge Advocate. It is useless and unusual to give reasons for so
doing. I will however say that from a failure to enforce general orders
and from an entire disregard of the grave decisions of councils of war I
am compelled to believe that no good will be atchieved by this army except
by the merest accident under heaven
Wm H Wharton
