22Advisory Committee to the Acting Governor, February 11, 1836, in
Consultation Papers, Vol. I, Texas State Library. The committee wrote
the Governor as follows:
"The advisory Committee to the Executive appointed by the General
Council to act in that capacity in the absence of a quorum of said Coun-
cil, are of opinion that under existing circumstances the affairs of Gov-
ernment & the interests of the people could be better attended to by an
adjournment of the Genl. Council to Washington, together with a re-
moval of all the officers of the Provisional Government that are required
to cooperate with the Geni. Council and such as are under their imme-
diate control and supervision. Said Committee therefore advise that the
Executive, General Council, treasurer Auditor, & Comptroller be re-
quired to remove to the town of Washington & be ready for the transac-
tion of business at that place on Monday the 22d, Inst., and that the
acting Governor advertise to that effect immediately, that the publica-
tion may appear with his proclamation now at the press."
