<B>Columbia, TX- Republic of Texas Third Issue Warrant</B></I> $312.00 Oct. 8, 1836 Cr. C-1, Medlar 1, Olson 200<BR> The city of Columbia served as the capital of the Republic of Texas from October, 1836 until April 18, 1837, when the legislature was moved to Houston due to inadequate accommodations. This warrant is made out to James H. Perry, made famous for a derogatory letter he wrote in April of 1836 criticizing Sam Houston, which would lead to years of resentment between the two men. Perry would be arrested for disobeying orders prior to the battle of San Jacinto, however, would be released and allowed to participate in the battle. The upper right corner has C1 and $40.00 written in pencil. On back are notes of an audit conducted June 13, 1839, which clarifies that this is indeed a "draft for services rendered in the army." <B>Very Fine.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
