Stephen F Austin to James F Perry, 09-14-1835
Summary: Elated over prospect for union and harmony. Reasons for consultation
Dr Brother,
I have the pleasure to say that there is the most perfect union in this
part of the country— I have never witnessed a more harmonious meeting
in my life than the one at this place on the union is all that Texas needs—
I have recd very favorable news from Bexar and think they will send
members to the consultation—in short all Texas will go together and that makes
all safe—union is all— The mode of proceding is not so material,
provided union is the result, and the one that has been adopted of consultation
I think will produce this result— I am regulating a place to live in for
the present, so as to have room to do business and think that Austin had
better remain there untill
I think, as I told you when there, that one of the Whartons ought to be elected to the consultation.
Love to Emily and the children,
Enquire of Mrs. Williams where my portable writing desk is— I can not find it, also the key— I left it with her—also ask her if she knows of any of my other things
