Letter to the President of the republic of Texas, Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Chief Justice of Fannin county

and members of the 23rd congress of the republic of Texas,
Greetings:

I must say that I have learned so much so far with my representation of the people of Milam county. I am amazed at the history of this county of which I am domiciled upon. It gives me great pleasure to be part of the original department established by the Spanish occupiers of this land of the late 18th century, that being the municipality of Viesco of the department of Nacogdoches.

Wherein my part is on the land having the border described as Milam county as it stands (ab initio) as of the ninth congress of the republic of Texas, and,

Whereas the subsequent events, (including everything we (the rT) believe to be unlawful regarding the annexation) have divided the land into more political subdivision of which we (rT) are about the task of repairing.

Therefore, I am committing to continue due diligence of everything from Spain's turnover of the land to Mexico's receiving the land, to Mexico's independence and subsequent republic which allowed Moses Austin to negotiate his grant of colonization, to Stephen F. Austin's inheritance of said grant and subsequent empresario grant, as well the other grants of colonization negotiated by the several companies under different contracts, and the struggles of each whereby certain circumstances and their details were overcome, and

Whereas the breach of these individual contracts occurred by the perpetrators who gave rise to the settler's grievances enumerated in the declaration of independence and the subsequent events of war as a result of the rebellion from tyranny imposed upon the settlers which culminated in the independence of Texas as a  republic and a republican form of governance,

I furthermore commit to the people of Milam county, a due diligence to record and place into the annuls of history a compilation of events which have been recorded in several places of this world, and that being in the most obscured fashions and venues, which upon being brought to light and exposed to the truth of matters, will give rise to the people's acceptance of their inheritance of this land we call the republic of Texas.

I am truly,
Your servant, in the House of Representatives
