Closing page of the letter of 4 July 1832 to the committee at Brazoria. The text says 'We have advised Mitchell & Chase to remove their provisions', so that, should the Mexicans again get possession, they could be starved out; asks for assistance and for word of the committee's wishes; and is signed 'Yours &c' by Wm Brown, Asa Mitchell and Wm H. Wharton, with the date 4th July.

How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch.
Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: three signatures stand under 'Yours &c': Wm Brown, Asa Mitchell and Wm H. Wharton. A 'Mitchell' is also named in the body as one of 'Mitchell & Chase', whose provisions were to be removed; the page does not say whether that is the same Mitchell as the signer. Page 3 is a further paragraph signed by Wharton alone. 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.

Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: Asa Mitchell is printed among the signers for the Municipality of Washington.

Whether this is our person: Confirmed that this is the tree's Asa Columbus Mitchell (1795-1865): the Handbook of Texas entry for him states that he represented Washington at the Consultation and signed the declaration of 7 November 1835.
