China Grove Novr. 18th 1835
To Genl S F Austin
Dear Sir
Inclosed you will find my resignation as Adjt Insptr Genl You have
my warmest thanks for this honor you so generously confered on me and
be asured my dear Sir that nothing (but the conviction that it is no longer
in my power to serve you) induces me to make a tender of my commission.
It would be too great a sacrifice of my feelings to remain longer in the
situation I hold in that army you will therefore I hope permit me to
retire— at some future day I confidently flatter myself—that I can give
you such reasons as will satisfy you that I am right in addopting the
present course In the meantime you will please to consider me Your sincere
and humble Friend
Warren D. C. Hall
N. B. I have done every thing in my power to promote the interest of
the army: and will continue to do so in my official Capacity untill I hear
from you Hall
[Addressed:] To Genl. Stephen F Austin Comdt-in Chief of the Federal
Army Bexar
