MAJOR: I have the honor to report that yesterday morning, about 11 o'clock, my clerk was ordered out of my office by Dr. P. N. Luckett, on of the commissioners of the Texan Convention, and a man with a musket in this hand posted as a sentinel over the office. About 12 m. yesterday, not knowing what was the matter, I attempted to enter my office, and was peremptorily ordered not to enter by the above-mentioned man with a musket. This morning I am informed by the man walking in front of my office door with a musket in his hand that myself and clerk have permission to go into my office. I have received no official information of the authority by which my offence was closed, and by which my books, papers, and other articles of private property were, without explanation, forcibly taken from my charge and possession.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
