ALS, one page, 7.25 x 9.5, Gonzales, October 27, 1832. Letter to an unidentified gentleman. In part, with misspellings retained: “I was very glad to learn that you had consented to become a candidate for the office of Col. I will certainly youse all of my influence in this place and it vicinity. I have know doubt that you will get nearly every vote in this place—We have heard of know other candidate for that office but your self.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, with several vertical folds through signature, a bit of paper loss along edges, and scattered light soiling.
Miller came to Texas in June 1830 and settled in DeWitt's colony, where he ran a general store and farmed. As the Texas Revolution began, he was one of the original Old Eighteen who defended the Gonzales ‘Come and Take It’ cannon. Shortly thereafter, in November 1835, he served as a member of the Consultation. On March 1, 1836, Miller entered the Alamo as a member of the relief force from Gonzales and furnished much-needed supplies from his general store. There he fought alongside John E. Gaston, the brother of his former wife, and John B. Kellog II, whom she married. All three died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836.
