Letters concerning requests by Reuben Ross (WA MSS S-988;C6313) to settle Catholic families in Texas, near the Natchitoches between the Red and Colorado rivers, a section of land previously granted to Brig. Gen. Arthur Wavell. Gov. Arizpe (WA MSS S-989;C6313) is concerned that these requests to colonize Texas are part of a concerted plan promoted by Haden Edwards to encourage rebellion against Mexico and that the warring Indian tribes may cause problems for settlers.
