14 February 1836 Texas boarding receipt, only two weeks before the Alamo, the Goliad Massacre and the subsequent establishment of the Republic of Texas. Handwritten receipt from Matagorda, Texas addressed from the Provisional Government of Texas to Peter Kinsey, allows for the boarding of four soldiers who would be killed at Goliad. Receipt reads in full, “for boarding 4 enlisted Soldiers under the orders and contract of Lieut. R.L. Saunders – viz: W.H. Mann – John Cross, William Harris & O.G. Eels – from the 22nd day of January last inclusive to February 6th: Inclusive being two weeks and one day at 3 Drs: per week each. $25.71 / also previous to boarding 4 Suppers at 2 / $1. [total] $26.71.” The Goliad Massacre and the fall of the Alamo branded both Santa Anna and the Mexican people with a reputation for cruelty and aroused the fury of the people of Texas, the United States, and even Great Britain and France. One page measures 7.75” x 4.25”. Mounting remnants on verso and light soiling. Excellent condition.
