Galveston 19 June 1853
Dr Sir!
your kind notice in your last Occident of my elevation to the mayority of this city, has gratified me in one sense, as I never was inclined to ride into public notoriety.
I accepted the office not for the sake of S?, but merely to thwart the Designs of a certain Clique who by the by were preaching publicly the Crusades against our Nation
This is certainly an Evidence if our people would only sustain their rights and priviledges in this ? country, and Demean themselves accordingly! They can be elevated to any office they aspire
Truly your friend
M Sungson?
Mrs S. sends her respects to you
