On the movements of the army and the election of Burleson see Austin's Order Book, pp. 49, 59, 77, Austin Papers, K 64. On the numbers of the army, Fannin to President of Consultation, November 6, 1835, archives of Texas, D, file 6, No. 559; list of volunteers pledged to remain before Bexar, Austin Papers, K 53; and Cooke's letter in the Quarterly, IX 212. Bryan says (to Perry, Austin Papers, K 30) that there were 800 men in camp on the 7th, and Rusk (to Robinson, archives of Texas, D, file 15, No. 1466) that there were only 350 on the 25th. The first is perhaps an over-estimate and the second is undoubtedly an underestimate.
