Letter from a Bexar Prisoner.—The San Antonio Express of September 15, 1912, contains a letter from S. A. Maverick to General Waddy Thompson, dated “Castle de Perote Decr 5, '43” and reproduces the first page in facsimile. The letter contains some interesting passages. The date, however, is incorrect; in all probability the correct date is January 5, 1843. The Diary of Judge Hutchinson, a fellow prisoner, printed in The Quarterly, XIII, 294-313, furnishes several reasons for this conjecture.
