Account of expenses for emigrants to Castroville, Texas
Manuscripts
A collection of 46 items from 1825 to 1866, which chiefly contains letters from Henri Castro to his directors in Texas, Dr. George Cupples and Louis Huth, concerning the problems and needs of the colony. Because of the questionable mail service of the time, duplicate copies of letters were often sent. These and the many English translations (which were made at a later time) are placed with the original letters but are not counted as separate items. The letters in this collection are primarily in French and Spanish.
