Claiborne and Pendleton Rector papers, 1831-1881 : (bulk 1831-1838).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/45966733

This small collection of two letters, a tax receipt, a certificate of military service, and a Texas Veteran's Association membership certificate constitutes a brief glimpse into the lives of two San Jacinto veterans during and immediately following the Texas Colonial Period. Of particular interest are the two letters (1831 and 1832) which comment on the richness of the Texas land and the current political and military situations while urging relatives to join the Rectors in Texas. The 1832 letter refers to Santa Anna by name.
