Stephen F Austin To the Most Excellent Deputation of the Province.

I inform your Excellency that on the 1st instant, I called a meeting of all the inhabitants of this District, to take their oath to the Constitutive Act, agreeably to the orders of your Excellency. Everything was done consistant with the situation of this new town, to solemnize that act, so highly important and interesting which was welcomed by the people with the greatest expressions of adhesion to our actual Government.

God and Liberty, May 25, 1824—at the town of San Felipe de Austin.

Estevan F Austin
