Stephen F Austin to James Fannin, 11-14-1835
Summary: Instructions.
Head Quarters Concepcion
This will be delivered to you by D. Salvador Flores—the brother in law
of Cap. Juan Seguin— Flores and his company have engaged to go on as
far as beyond the Nueces to examin whether any troops are on the road,
This service is important, and I have told the men of this party, that should they take public horses, they can appropriate two horses or mules apiece to their own use and property
If you have heard nothing of the reenforcement I wish you to return to camp—
Burlesons division sent him and Wharton down
Some reenforcements have arrived and they will now come on in great numbers— The sooner you can return the better, provided you find that nothing can be done there—
S. F. Austin [Rubric]
The foraging party is out from Bexar on Leon every day—about 100 men— A strange misunderstanding prevented Eberlys company from joining you—
[Addressed:] Capt. J. W. Fannin Donde se halle where he may be found
