report to the Mexican government in November, 1827, on the Louisiana-
Texas boundary question (published as a pamphlet in Mexico in 1828;
reprinted in Louisiana
Historical
Quarterly,
I, 21-43), in which he speaks
of the "Sabinas or
Mexican River" some leagues east of Nacogdoches.
Jedidiah Morse, in his American
Gazetteer
(Boston, 1804), also evidently
refers to the Sabine when he speaks of the "Mexicano River or Adayes,
in
Louisiana," for he adds: "Fort Adayes stands on its north-eastern side,
20 miles from Natchitoches."
