Agency of Texas New Orleans June 20th 1836
Gen S F Austin
Dear Sir
With this we send you a paper giving important information in regard
to Mexican movements, I have written to the President enclosing the same
paper, urging it upon him to instantly forward, scrip, complete the loan
of Col Triplett or devise some other means to allow this Agency, to
forward instantly supplies for the people and army. No one now, would take
the Agency for New Orleans, an attempt at a change would ruin all, My
fate must rest on Texas, and as no one has so much at issue, no one can
exert themselves as I shall in forwarding the material to drive the Enemy
from the soil, I need not urge upon you, the necessity of immediate action
on your arrival in Texas
Wm. Bryan
P S. we have today news from Tampico of the grossest insults offered
to the United States vessels sent there etc
