ADS, signed “S. F. Austin,” one page, 7.5 x 6, November 24, 1835. In full: “This is to certify that Geo. C. Kimble and Jesse McCoy have served faithfully as spies and snipers—They have been on constant duty and fatigue, and have been true and indefatigable on every service they have been engaged in. They entered the army at the beginning of the campaign when the Mexican troops first attacked Gonzales.” Intersecting folds, with a horizontal fold through Austin’s signature, uniform toning, small area of paper loss near lower right corner, and stray ink marks to left side, heavier at top, otherwise very good condition. On February 23, 1836, both Kimbell and McCoy were mustered into the Gonzales Ranging Company of Mounted Volunteers. A little less than two weeks later, they would both perish in defense of the Alamo. The Robert Davis Collection.
