30th of November 1838

My dearest Becky,

Every letter I receive from you causes me to want to jump on my horse and ride to Harrisburg straightaway to see you. I was dismayed when I read about the sinking of the Brutus with all hands in that terrible storm. Stephen Austin faithfully served Texas as minister to the U. States. I have been told the surveyors are done surveying the new city, and within a year, the government will move there. Of course, the president may conspire to keep me in the field, lest he lose his girl to the wiles of a frontier officer. It is funny, Texas is independent of the U. States, and yet we celebrate Thanksgiving, just like our friends and family back east. As such, I received an invitation to a Thanksgiving celebration held by Juan Seguin’s sister and brother-in-law. The ladies were dressed in reds, and blues and yellows. When they twirled in their men’s arms, the dresses flared up, like spinning parasols. Charlie told me the dresses looked like spindle tops.

Had I realized how much paperwork a general goes through I think I may have decided to become a simple cavalryman, with nothing to worry about. I will be taking Sid and Juan with me on a tour of our forts along the Rio Grande next month, and from there, we will travel to Galveston to inspect our forts there, and when I do, I will make sure to come by Harrisburg to call upon you.

Until then, I remain most affectionately yours,

Will
