UTSA James Morgan Papers

Cedar Point 30th July 1841

My dear Colonel

We felt the most painful anxiety for Mrs Lee on your voyage up yesterday, aware as we were of her great timidity on water. I thought Mother and Mrs Houston would have gone into fits to see the Boat top and dive in the breakers. Of course you reached home safe with your preci -ous charge. Don't let it deter the Madam from coming to see us in future. The Ladies salute Mrs Lee and the dear little Lee, with their best respects, to Col Morgan!

I send you No 2, of "Truth," and as it is interlined so much, I hope you will have it copied, corrected and if you can, hand it to Baker

men lack moral courage.

Salute Madam, W Lee, & Mrs [Preston?] Thine Truly Sam Houston [His Scroll]

Col James Morgan New Washington Texas
