REGARDED SIR, In fulfilment of the duties which a public man owes to his native country and to honor, I came to this Soil at the head of six thousand mexicans. The disasters of war, which circumstances rendered inevitable, have reduced me to the situation of a prisoner, in which I still remain, as you will no doubt have been informed. The good disposition manifested by Don Samuel Houston, Commander-in-chief of the Texian Army, for terminating the war, and by his Successor, Don Thomas J. Rusk; the determination of the President and Cabinet to make an honorable arrangement between the contending parties, and my conviction; have given rise to the Agreements, of which I annex copies, as also of the orders issued by me to General Filisola, my Second in command, for him to retire with the remainder of the mexican Army, from this river Brazos, where he then was, to the other side of the river Bravo del Norte. As there was no doubt that General Filisola would scrupulously fulfil all that part which related to him, the President and Cabinet had taken measures for my return to Mexico, to enable me to complete the other stipulations and I had, in consequence, embarked on board the Schooner Invincible, which was to convey me to the Port of Vera Cruz; but, it unfortunately happened, that some indiscreet persons raised a tumult, which obliged the Authorities forcibly to land me and again to place me in close confinement. That incident prevented my arrival at Mexico, since the beginning of last month, which has induced that Government, ignorant, no doubt, of what had occurred, to take the command of the Army from General Filisola, ordering Genl. Urrea to whom the command has been given, to go on with his operations, in virtue of which, the latter General is now at the river Nueces, according to last accounts. In vain have some men of foresight and well-disposed, endeavoured to show the necessity of repressing the passions and of my return to Mexico, as it was agreed upon. The excitement has gathered strength with the return of the Mexican Army to Texas. Such is the present state of affairs. The duration of the war and its disasters are therefore necessarily inevitable, unless a powerful hand interpose to cause the voice of reason to be opportunely listened to. It appears to me, then, that it is you who can render so great a service to humanity, by using your high influence to have the aforesaid Agreements carried into effect; which, on my part, shall be punctually fulfilled. When I agreed to· treat with this Government, it was under the conviction that for Mexico to continue the war, was unnecessary. I have acquired correct information of this country, of which I was ignorant four months back. I am sufficiently zealous of the interests of my country not to wish for her that which is most suitable. Always ready to sacrifice myself for her glory and welfare I would not have hesitated to prefer suffering torments or death, rather than consent to any arrangement whatever, if by such conduct an advantage had accrued to Mexico. My full conviction that it is more expedient to settle the present question by political negotiations, is, finally the sole motive which induces me to agree sincerely to what has been stipulated. In the same manner do I make to you this frank declaration. Be pleased, then, to favor me with like confidence: afford me the satisfaction of preventing evils near at hand, and of contributing to do the good which my heart dictates: let us establish mutual relations to the end that your Nation and the Mexican may strengthen their friendly ties and both engage amicably in giving existence and stability to a people that wish to figure in the political world; in which they will succeed within a few years, with the protection of the two Nations. The Mexicans are magnanimous when treated with consideration! I will make known to them with purity of intentions the reasons of conveniency and humanity which required a frank and noble conduct, and I do not doubt they will adopt it, when conviction has worked upon their minds. This manifestation will convince you of the sentiments which animate me, and of those with which I have the honor to be, Your very devoted, obedient Servant ANTO. LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.

[p. 88]: An eminent personage there wished to know if I had not spoken of Santa Anna with Gen. Jackson, whom I had the pleasure of visiting at his house, and with whom I spent a most agreeable day, on my way to Mexico. I repeated the old hero's words. He said he an interview of six hours with Gen. Santa Anna, in which Mr. Forstyh, the present secretary of state, acted as interpreter. It is a pity, said the old general, that that man has a heart not as good as his head; yet the ex-president mistook what he thought to be Santa Anna's best part. He has shrewd, malicious, and mischievous dispositions; but not what phrenologists would call a good head. Notwithstanding an introduction I had to Santa Anna, what I heard of the man disgusted me so much, that I gave up visiting him at his country residence. I felt satisfied that it was not worth the trouble to go and see one more of the many rascals who move about the world.

CATLETT TO AUSTIN MOBILE Jan'y 11th 1836 DEAR SIR, After an unavoidable detention of eleven days at Velasco, and a most tedious and disagreeable voyage of fourteen days, I arrived at New Orleans on the night of the 7th inst. It gave me great pain to learn from Maj. Raines, that you had been extremely ill; I sincerely trust that this letter may find you in a state of rapid convalescence. Your various requests I attended to, as far as was practicable on a day of general idleness and public festivity. Messrs. Toby and MarLe I was unable to see. Mr. Grayson is in N. Orleans. On Monday the 9th I took passage for this place. The Viper had not then arrived although she left Velasco on the same day with the Julius Caesar. COL. Turner is on board of her, and has in his charge the scrip intended for David White Esqr. of this City. You have doubtless by this time received President Jackson's message in relation to Texian affairs. I cannot express the regret, with which I gradually awoke to the unwelcome truth, that he is opposed to the immediate recognition of Texian Independence. I did not anticipate so cold blooded a policy from him. There is something within me however, that whispers that the message was a message of expediency not intended to sway the Congress from a just and generous measure, but to lull the jealousy of foreign powers, and gull the national vanity of miserable Mexico, while the work goes not the less surely on, and approaches the consummation of all that you most desire:-not only recognition but annexation likewise. A resolution has passed the lower house of the Legislature of Kentucky requiring their representative in Congress to vote in favour of recognition. There can be no doubt, if one can form an opinion from what he sees and hears, that our independence will be recognised by a large majority. The message is supposed to have been written by Mr. Van Buren; if so, it may be regarded as an omen of the ungenerous policy which he has determined to pursue in relation to Texas. It matters not. It will make his administration unpopular at the very outset. Texas has many strong friends in Congress and indeed the South and West are already arraying their strength in her favour. I greatly fear that the opposition will identify themselves with Texian interests for the selfish purpose of restoring their fallen party to power and breaking down the next administration. I feel confident that the questions of recognition and annexation will produce a general splitting up of the old democratic party, and I devoutly trust that the annexation of Texas may be the result. I would not have ventured to express the crude ideas of so inexperienced a mind as my own had I not been writing to one, who I know will view them with indulgence, appreciate them as ingenuously given, and not regard them as emanating from an intrusive or presumptuous disposition. I shall get off tomorrow for Washington and if not unusually unlucky will arrive there by the 25th inst. Please accept my sincere wishes for your health and happiness, and with sentiments of high consideration and respect, . I have the honor to be, Your Obt Servt F.

It will then be handed to the President of the United States who/it is probable/will immediately acknowledge the independence of Texas without [needing? meeting?] the action of Congress. I was convinced that this [information?] came immediately from the President of the U.S. and made the suggestions accordingly. Mr. [?], who is now at Phila., was consequently called to this city, and will in all probability soon be here. In a conversation with Genl. Jackson, he informed with much emphasis the [?] [?] that the proposition for annexation of Texas to the United States should not be [pursued?] immediately upon [?], that is to say, not until the acknowledgement of our [page 3] independence by them. This, however, was [?] to the proposition before mentioned, if that succeeds and he acknowledges it and [?] our Minister. Then the matter of annexation will be before them. I cannot convince myself that it will take place during this session. Altho’ many here are very [?] of it. I [appear?] to be so of course.

Title A name given to the resource 1836-37: Almonte, Bee, Hockley, Patton, Santa Anna, Texas to Washington Description An account of the resource This collection brings together items related to the journey of Antonio López de Santa Anna, Juan Almonte, Barnard Bee, George Washington Hockley, and W.H. Patton from Orizombo, Texas, to Washington, D.C. in the aftermath of the Texas Revolution, 1836-37. The journey was part of the diplomatic frenzy that followed Texas's successful secession from Mexico in early 1836. Mexico refused to recognize the new republic, while Texas pushed for recognition, and eventual annexation, by the United States. Antonio López de Santa Anna, Mexico's president, had been captured at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. After Santa Anna spent several months as a prisoner of war, the Republic of Texas government sent him to Washington to meet with U.S. President Andrew Jackson. The party--Juan Almonte, a Mexican Army colonel, served as Santa Anna's translator, while Bee, Hockley, and Patton served as Republic of Texas diplomats--journeyed overland through the United States, reaching Washington on January 18, 1837. Santa Anna and Almonte spent several days in the city before returning to Vera Cruz, Mexico, on February 21, 1837. This collection includes items related to that journey, from both the participants and observers. Still Image A static visual representation.
