The Jones Family, of Gallatin County, Illinois, is applying for the last slot in Stephen F. Austin's colony. Here is their application:
Mr. Stephen F. Austin,
I, Issac Jones, wish for you to accept my family's application to be accepted into your colony in Texas. My family and I currently live in Gallatin County, Illinois. We would very much enjoy getting to settle in your colony. If you would allow, we would love to move to Texas. I, and my family, would work and be good and useful citizens in your colony and would strive to be leaders in your colony. We believe in good character and morals. We constantly try to teach our children to be the best they can possibly be and to have good character and morals at the same time. If you accept our application, we will be good citizens, and be as helpful and serviceable as possible in the community. My wife and I wish to raise our children in positive environments and believe that your colony in Texas would be an adventure as well as an outstanding place. Our family will give all that we possibly have to offer. I am sure that my three daughters and my son will carry on the same aspects and priorities in life as my wife and I do. Here is our recommendation letter:
