Early politician within the Republic of Texas (1788–1870), serving as interim President of Texas in 1836 (and ran for president of the Republic again 1841), second Vice President of the Republic of Texas, and Secretary of State for the new state of Texas after it was annexed to the United States of America. Very scarce manuscript DS, one page, 7.75 x 12.5, April 8, 1836. Interim governor Burnett appoints a George M. Patrick to a position at the Galveston Military Post. In part: “That reposing special confidence in the honor, patriotism, fidelity and abilities of George M. Patrick…appoint the said George M. Patrick Contractor for the Post of Galveston. As such he will be diligent in the discharge of the duties of his station taking care to conform himself to the rules and regulations that may be adopted for his government. The lawful orders of the commandant of the Post and the orders which he may from time to time receive from the War Department of the Republic…Done at Harrisburg this 8th Day of April.” Signed at the conclusion by Burnet and countersigned by Secretary of State Bailey Hardeman. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light toning and damp-staining, professional repair to a small separation at top, a few small edge tears, and dings to edges. Few Harrisburg documents have survived as most were lost when Burnet buried them at New Washington, with even fewer in private hands. The Robert Davis Collection.
