is claimed that the letter was inspired By
General Smith,. The letter says, in sub

and Government east OF the Mississippi
are rapidly getting demolished, and thai

also, it is time to be preparing for the inev

abandon Texas to her fate, it would b.
better to go to Mexico, and there, by fight

against an empire, to earn the right to re
