AFFAIRS OF THE ASSOCIATION.
In the list of accessions to the library of the Association for the year 1902-1903, published in the last number, the gift of Z. N. Morrell's Flowers and Fruits of Forty-six Years in Texas is inadvertently credited to Mr. S. H. Hickman. The donor is Mrs. J. C. Brown, of Hearne, Texas.
Mr. Guy M. Bryan of Galveston and Miss Hally Ballinger Bryan of Washington, D. C., son and daughter of the late Colonel Guy M. Bryan, have found among the books and historical materials belonging to his collection a copy of Nicolas Chautrean's French Grammar, written in Spanish, which was the property of Stephen F. Austin and seems to have been used by him during his imprisonment in Mexico; a copy of Dr. Samuel Johnson's Dictionary (third ed., Dublin, 1768) which belonged successively to Moses Austin, Stephen F. Austin, Emily M. Austin (Mrs. Bryan, and later Mrs. Jas. F. Perry), and Guy M. Bryan; a copy of the original edition of the Ordinances and Decrees of the Consultation, Provisional Government of Texas and the Convention (Houston: Niles &Co., 1838); and a number of private letters relating to various aspects of the history of Texas. The dictionary and the letters have been given to the University (for the library and the Austin Papers respectively), and the grammar and the Ordinances and Decrees to the Association. This further gift of those who have already given so much to the University is gratefully acknowledged.
