How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch.

Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: the paragraph is signed by W. H. Wharton alone; the joint signatures of Wm Brown, Asa Mitchell and Wm H. Wharton are on page 2. Asa Mitchell is not named on this page, which belongs to the same letter. Whether this is our person: Likely, not Confirmed, that the Asa Mitchell of this letter is the tree's Asa Columbus Mitchell (1795-1865): a settler of that name in the Brazoria area in 1832 fits his land grants there and his part in the Battle of Velasco in 1832, but the letter gives no middle name, age or family.
