San Felipe De Austin 30th Novr 1835

Dear Father and Mother

Uncle and myself arrived here last night from the camp in good health— Uncle resigned his office on the 24 ult. and we left the next day for this place— I think he will go on to the United States soon, perhaps in a few days as he was called by the Convention to go as a commissioner to the U. S. but with what power I know not; if he is not vested with the power of attaching Texas to the U. S. but only to borrow money etc I think he wont go

Burleson was elected commander in Chief to fill Uncles place. There are 4 or 500 men in camp who are determined to stick to it until Bexar falls or they eat up all, every thing in that country. A Maile was intersepted the day before we left by which we learned that there was an order for raising 10.000 Soldiers to come on to Texas as soon, as possible under the Command of Genl. Santa Anna himself perhaps they will be here next Spring.

I left Joel at Camp in good health and determined to see the last of the war

There was considerable confusion and dissatisfaction in the Army on account of the acts of the convention and I find they have not pleased the people generally

I will write you again Soon
