Head Quarters Concepcion Nov. 14, 1835
Cap. J. W. Fannin
This will be delivered to you by D. Salvador Flores—the brother in law
of Cap. Juan Seguin— Flores and his company have engaged to go on as
far as beyond the Nueces to examin whether any troops are on the road,
they will also burn the whole country as far as they go— I wish you to get
eight or ten volunteers to go with them
This service is important, and I have told the men of this party, that
should they take public horses, they can appropriate two horses or mules
apiece to their own use and property
If you have heard nothing of the reenforcement I wish you to return
to camp—
Burlesons division sent him and Wharton down yesterday with an
unanimous request that the two divisions should be united at that place— The
nature of this request and many circumstances renders it necessary to
comply with it. This division will therefore march to the mill above town
tomorrow—and you will return to that camp—
Some reenforcements have arrived and they will now come on in great
numbers— The sooner you can return the better, provided you find that
nothing can be done there—
S. F. Austin [Rubric]
The foraging party is out from Bexar on Leon every day—about 100
men— A strange misunderstanding prevented Eberlys company from
joining you—
