Grateful acknowledgment is due the custodians of the col lections enumerated for courteous and considerate assistance; to Mrs. Mattie Austin Hatcher, of the History Department of the University of Texas, for many kindnesses in locating mate rial; to my friend L. W. Payne, Jr., Professor of English in the University of Texas, who generously read the galley proofs and to Mrs. Hally Bryan Perry, Mrs. Edward W. Parker, and Mr. Guy M. Bryan, children of the late Colonel Guy M. Bryan, nephew of Stephen F. Austin, for the use of manuscripts in their possession. Finally, the research that has gone into the book, extending through many years, could not have been done without the uniformly cheerful and sympathetic cooperation of my Wife.
