Texas promoter (1808–1868), who along with Robert Creuzbaur compiled the Map of the State of Texas, first published in 1849. Much subsequent Texas cartography was based on this map, which was praised by Sam Houston on the floor of the United States Senate. ALS signed “J. De Cordova,” one page, lightly-lined, 8 x 5.25, May 23, 1855. Letter to Captain George B. Erath. In full: “Your welcome favor of the 19th this date to hand and I have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of the two Hundred and Seventy Five Dollars therein contained. It came very apropos as I was about starting for Galveston in the morning. Many thanks for your attention and I hope to one day be able to reciprocate.” In very good condition, with fragile vertical folds, several passing through single letters of signature, with a partial separation to one fold away from signature, and scattered toning and creasing. The Robert Davis Collection.
