Resignation as judge advocate general

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
