[Col. Nicholas Copeland letter to Martin Bridgman, April 25, 1835]
1835 letter of Col. Nicholas Copeland to his son-in-law Martin Bridgman of Arkansas, enticing him to move to Texas.

His land grant (settlement & fortification) described in the letter was 25 miles west of the Trinity River just before crossing the Navasota River.
