Governor Smith, in a message to the council, dated December 23, said, “The documents relating to the creation of officers in the camp [i. e., at Bexar], requiring commissions, &c. &c, I have passed over to the commander-in-chief, with a request that he proceed to order the proper officers to that point to take command, and reduce the previous disorganization to system.”—Proceedings of the General Council, 196.
