In justice to the name of Seguin, let me add that no Mexican ever did more for Texas and the Colonists, than did that true-hearted man. In the infancy of Texas, in the days of her weakness and his strength, he was the faithful friend of the American. (Would I could say the same of the Americans towards him.) A man of intelligence and position, having the confidence of his government, through him Austin obtained many favors for the colonists. In San Antonio whenever an American got into difficulty, Seguin was the first and the best friend he had, and those who lived here in early times, when the Mexican was strong, know well how valuable such a friend could prove.
