New York, Nov. 27th 1835

Dear Sir.

I have not received from you any Letter of a later date than the 6th Oct. I wrote to you in answer to that Letter—communicating the contents of the secretary of State's letter relative to the Indians—(towit). "That the Governt of the U. States had ordered the Indians not to take part in the War between Mexico and Texas, on pain of Our resentment etc" Public sentiment is doing for your Cause all that can be done. In a few months you will be overrun with friends—

I was much pleased to receive yesterday the first Number of the San Felipe de Austin telegraph— Boys seldom read before they run— Your youthful Texas, the New come and welcome fair Republic—now reads and will have a glorious and happy run.

I inclose a $5. Bank Note for the paper. I am proud to be one of its first subscribers

this paper may easily do more for your cause, than a park of Artillery May God prosper your cause

H. Meigs

Sent the $5 note mentioned within to Messrs Baker and Bordens by letter
