San Felipe 10th October 1835

Col. Austin and the Comdt. at Head Quarters.

Your Letters have been received up to the time of Col Austins from Mosely's on the 8th Inst. We have sent copies of all Important news to Every Part of Texas which we thought necessary to Communicate with— By Doctr Wallace we wrote early this morning to McKinney and Committee of Columbia to day we send by Col Ward (who however will go slow) an address to the Committees and Volunteers Eastward Requesting him to Read it to all the Volunteers he may meet.

The Cannon at Tinoxticlan we are Pretty well assured was Bursted by the men Out on the Indian Campaign. Early this morning Mr. Bartleson left for the Canon at Harrisburg and assures us it shall be on the way before tomorrow night. I would have written to the Committee at Columbia for one piece of Artilery But I am opposed upon the plea of the Insecure situation of that Country. If however you direct it they will send it.

I will Enquire as much as I can and If I find it not a fact that the Cannon at Tinoxticlan is Bursted will send for it with all dispatch. Majr Gray takes some Powder etc.—We Received a member from Trinity this morning to the Council Pettus is a way and we cannot organize sooner than tomorrow though I have assumed the appearances all alone.

R R Royall [Rubric] Member of the Council
