Austin, addressed to Andrew Jackson Donelson, written on October 14th, 1836. This remarkable artifact was composed in Columbia, Texas during the early days of the Republic of Texas. The letter itself holds immense historical significance as it captures Austin's offer to annex Texas into the United States. It reflects the spirit of manifest destiny that prevailed during this era and highlights Austin's leadership role as a statesman and key figure in Texan colonization.
