Letter from Thomas J. Rusk at Nacogdoches to his wife Mary at Clarksville, Georgia letting her know that he has been in Texas about a month and decided to permanently live there. Rusk gives reasons for picking to live in Nacogdoches versus more prosperous parts of Texas and a rough census of the local population. Rusk explains that he has caught up with McLaughlin, the reason he came to Texas in the first place, and his waiting for McLaughlin’s brother to deliver his money. Rusk also notes how successful Sam Houston’s law practice has been in the last year and gives that as his reason for wanting to open his own practice in Nacogdoches. Rusk writes wistfully about Mary and their children back in Georgia. The final page is a love poem to Mary, 2/15/1835
