Receipt with itemized expenses incurred by Lt. Col. William Barret Travis for provisions he bought to arm and feed his Alamo soldiers. Receipt is signed by General John R. Jones, executor of Travis’ estate, listing 27 items for a total of $143 that Travis bought from January through March 1836, while under assault from the Mexican Army.

Very rare document signed by Benjamin Rush Milam, granting citizenship into Milam’s Red River Colony. Dated 19 January 1831, Milam signs this document nearly five years before he would be killed in the Siege of Bexar during the Texas Revolution, as he called to his fellow compatriots: ”Who will go with old Ben Milam into San Antonio?”
Founded by Milam and Arturo G. Wavell in 1826, the Red River Colony was an effort by the men to settle land in present-day northeast Texas along the Red River under the Colonization Law of March 24, 1825. The Mexican law was passed to encourage Texas settlement by offering 4,000 acres of land for farming and ranching with the caveats that the colonists abide by Mexican law, worship as Catholics, and demonstrate good moral conduct. Milam and Wavell applied for a land grant from the vice governor of Coahuila y Texas, who approved the request in 1826, giving the entrepreneurs six years to form the Colony. Partially-printed document ”No. 95” lists Milam and Wavell’s names in print, translated in part, ”…For the years one thousand eight hundred twenty-six and eight hundred twenty-seven [handwritten numbers of 28, 29, 30, 31 added]…The Citizen Benjamin R. Milam, agent for the Citizen Arturo G. Wavell, businessman, introduce foreign emigrants into the Colony…I certify that he and heirs of Jose Janes[?] are one of the settlers, introduced into the said colony, by virtue of said contract, possessing the qualities prescribed by the Colonization Law of March 24, 1825 – which are and consist of his family of Ten people. I hereby certify the said heirs of Jose Janes as proof that he enters into said contract and that he is therefore entitled to the portion of land designated by said Colonization Act of March 24, 1825…in said Colony of Arturo G. Wavell…I sign this as proxy of the said businessman Arturo G. Wavell – Given in my office inside the Colony of Wavell on the 19th, of the month of January, 1831…” Signed ”Ben. R. Milam”. Single page document measures 8.25” x 11.25”. Paper loss at bottom of approximately 3” x 1.25, light wear and toning. Mounting remnants and archival tape repair to verso. Overall in good to very good condition. One of less than a handful of documents signed by Milam known to exist, and the only known document granting citizenship in his Red River Colony. Sold for $12,000.

Four Confederate ALsS Texas Rangers
Four Confederate letters from Dr. William R. Robinson, Surgeon with the Texas Rangers. Originally from New York, Robinson settled in Texas and served throughout the war in overseeing the care of prisoners in Galveston and New Orleans. Fascinating letter lot reveals Robinson’s motivations for fighting against his family and home state. 4pp. letter datelined Port Sullivan, Texas, 11 February 1861 reads in part: “…I have…received a letter from Rebecca dated from brooklyn – am much greaved to see her write so despondently of her health – her symptoms, from her description, are so peculiar that I am inclined to believe that her main trouble is hysteria – By the last mail I wrote to Dr Wilson requesting him with Dr. Pulling to call on her… examine her, prescribe for her, and write me the nature of her disease…Texas through her Legislature & Convention has passed the Ordinance of Secession – It is however referred back to the people to be voted upon on the 23rd of this month – That vote will almost unanimously place Texas in her old position of a free and independent republic – The North can never conquer the South – The attempt will lead to a war of extermination. My bread is cast on the waters of the South, and there I’ll expect to find it – Should New York attempt to coerce Texas my position would be in the foremost ranks of the Rangers of my adopted state. We all know you have good men among you. Those we love – but you are few and powerless – Fanaticism rules the day – Let us of the South shake hands with you and ‘depart in peace.’ If war comes it will be the North that strikes the first blow. The South will return it with interest – My heath has been very good, and my professional prospects are improving…” 3.5pp. letter datelined Atlanta, Illinois, 13 November 1865 reads in part: “…In regard to my Southern services I acted as I then thought right. My surroundings, interests, and some dear attachments were Southern. I now see my error. I didn’t hear of Ned’s death until I reached New Orleans from Mexico. Nor did I know that he was in the army. So long as the mails between Texas and N. York existed Ned and I continued a brotherly correspondence. I truly mourned and still mourn his loss. In regard to the Misses Thorn, I sincerely regret their error. I shall ever entertain a kind feeling toward them. As to Miss Vail If you can possibly find some girl who loves you and who has some solid attractions I would advise you to marry by all means. Had I have married many years ago I would not have been the ‘Rolling Stone’ you speak of. I am glad to hear that you are so well pleased with your situation. You are young – promotion will come in time. You ask me to write my travels and adventures. It would take a long letter to do so I hope soon to be able to relate them to you. At present I am a Western man (a sucker). The west offers fine inducements to men of enterprise. This state is of the richest – I lately formed a pardnership with Dr. Baird of this town for the practice of our profession. I think that we will do a heavy business in purging and operating on a suffering community…” All letters composed in ink. Separation at folds to several letters as well as slight toning and wear. Overall, very good condition. Sold for $11,600.
