1836, October 6: PAPERS 0F MIRABEAU BUONAPARTE LAMAR – Page  462 -
M. HUNT TO M.B. LAMAR
I have written an official letter to President Houston requesting a Confirmation of the orders of President Burnet to me. There are now nearly one thousand Emigrants starting and on the eve of setting out for Texas, to join my division of the army. Genl. "\Y. F. Jones of S. Carolina, not being enabled to accompany me, I have had it in my power to fill the station he would have occupied by a gentleman from your native State, who I have known long and well, and who is everything- we would have him to be. This individual is Gen. George S. McIntosh, son to Genl McIntosh of Ga., Nephew to Gov. Troup, Bro-in-Law to Genl Clinch, &c, &c. He is a Southern gentleman with whom you are acquainted, will command the other Brigade consituting my division. ~either of us own an acre of land in Texas, and are advancing largely to the Government-a circumstance which is greatly benefitting, our cause, as it gives the lie to the accusation on the part of the enemies of Texas in the U. S., that speculation and mercenary considerations, influence all who embark any thing in the good and just cause of our oppressed and bleeding country.
I have induced some- of the finest young men in the U. S. to embark in the Texian cause with me, many of whom it will be a gratification to you to make the acquaintance of.
I am a warm advocate of annexing Texas to the U. S.-I believe and hope it is the case with a large majority of the citizens of Texas. I shall visit the P1·esident of the U. S. in a few days, and allude to the subject in our interview. You shall have the substance of what transpires, if I feel authorized to communicate it to you.
The land holders in Texas, resident in the City of New York, with a few exceptions, lend no pecuniary aid whatever to Texas.  Ought persons who own property in Texas be allowed to hold it, when they have done nothing directly or indirectly to aid the almost starving little band of heroes who have been so valliant, and are ready to be so again, to defend their homes and principles? I think not, and have been bold to assert unreservedly, that so far as my influence' will go as a citizen, that – I am an advocate for the confiscation of all property which has not been, or shall not be, represented, directly or indirectly, by its owner or owners, during the war.
