Agency of Texas New Orleans June 20th 1836

Gen S F Austin

Dear Sir

With this we send you a paper giving important information in regard to Mexican movements, I have written to the President enclosing the same paper, urging it upon him to instantly forward, scrip, complete the loan of Col Triplett or devise some other means to allow this Agency, to forward instantly supplies for the people and army. No one now, would take the Agency for New Orleans, an attempt at a change would ruin all, My fate must rest on Texas, and as no one has so much at issue, no one can exert themselves as I shall in forwarding the material to drive the Enemy from the soil, I need not urge upon you, the necessity of immediate action on your arrival in Texas

Wm. Bryan

P S. we have today news from Tampico of the grossest insults offered to the United States vessels sent there etc
