First sentence: By this their Petition, respectfully beg leave to lay before your Honorable Body, their grievance touching the debt of the Late Republic of Texas, in which they are deeply interested; having been for many years holders of the bonds, and other evidences of debt, of the said late Republic: And in the enjoyment of this favored privilege, of which they are in a high degree sensible, they most respectfully approach you in the attitude of creditors, suffering from long deprivation of their dues, justly and assiduously earned, and most unreservedly confiding in your wise and skilful counsel, and in your unqualified devotion to the dispensation of justice.
