March 23, 1904.
The “Fannin” letter that I have the pleasure of placing in the Library came to me thus, Mr. Deffenbaugh, for many years the Secretary of the Texas Veterans' Association, held it. After his death his executor, finding the letter with his papers, gave it me, to be disposed of as I might deem proper. I now beg leave to place it in the State Library.
F. R. Lubbock.
