Description
MIRABEAU LAMAR (1798-1859). Lamar served as the Second President of the Republic of Texas from 1838-1841. A protg of Sam Houston, Lamar later served in the Texas Senate and as U.S. ambassadors to Costa Rica and Nicaragua under President James Buchanan. ALS.1 pg. 8 x 10. March 5, 1847. Laredo, Texas. An autograph letter signed Mirabeau B. Lamar Commanding at Laredo and initialed MBL. The letter grants the following: The bearer, Jesus Barrera, is employed on public serviceand has permission to carry arms for his protection; he will be respected accordingly, and allowed to pass without interference Mirabeau B. Lamar Commanding at Laredo. The letter includes a postscript: Will the Quartermaster please dispatch the bearer with as little delay as possible, and if necessary, to furnish him with a horse to return upon, should his own give out. Volume VI of the Lamar Papers within the Texas History Trust describe a Jesus Barrera who was captured in 1840 fighting on behalf of the Republic of the Rio Grande. This declared republic, with several other northern Mexican states, sought to break away from the centralized authoritarian Mexican government of General Santa Anna during the Texas Revolution to form a federal system modeled after the United States. Their revolution was brutally suppressed, but received covert support from Lamar while he was President of Texas. Now almost a decade later, Lamar was fighting for the United States Army at Laredo, Texas and supported his one-time ally. His order to furnish a gun and horse during war-time to a Mexican citizen is very striking for how it complicates portrayals of loyalty during the Mexican-American War. This letter within its historical context is an excellent example of the ideological divisions that plagued Mexico around the time of Texas independence and the war with America. The letter is in fine condition with a few folds that do not hinder understanding. The letter is framed in brown wood and matted in tan with a hand-colored portrait of Lamar.

JOHN LANSING, JR. (1754-1829). Lansing was an Albany area lawyer and politician. He was mayor of Albany and a justice of the New York State Supreme Court.DS. 2pg. Albany. August 18, 1804. A document signed Elisha Putnam addressed to John Lansing. The top of the first page states: Mr. Bisbee has completed his Contract for Reducing the hills & forming the 14th partition of the Albany & Schnectady Turnpiketo the plan of the Eight Foot bands. He has also performed work to the amount of Twenty Eight Dollars in Sawing the Stone. At the bottom of the first page, Lansing penned: Sir Please to pay Mr. Bisbee the sum of one hundred & thirty Dollars on the above Account John Lansing Junr Prez August 18 1804. Lansing wrote a similar note on the verso about paying Brisbee, and Luther Bisbee signed at the conclusion. The document has folds and dark ink. The idea of reducing the hills in the pre-machine age sounds painful!
