11Lewis showed the Erving affidavit to Tazewell, A. V. Brown, C. J.
Ingersoll, and Upshur, as the records show; it was probably shown also to
other gentlemen at Washington. See McElroy, Winning
of
the
Far
West,
7; 61, note. Ingersoll incorporated Erving's "revelations" in his Texas
"Report," published in the Washington
Globe,
May 1, 1844.
