To Genl Austin, Col Wharton and Dr Archer
Gentlemen
Feeling interested for the Cause of Texas, and being So Situated in life
that I cannot aid them personally I would beg Your acceptance of the
Within as a Small testimony of My good wishes for their Success, over the
blood thirsty Tyrant of the Mexican butchers
