Received of Gail Borden Jr. Collector of Public Dues for the Department of Brazos, Twenty Six Dollars forty cents, in payment to the Government for three installments on three quarters of a league of land granted Mr. Daniel on the 17th day of April 1831, said payment being endorsed on a treasury order, dated 30th July 1836 No. 215 lettered P. drawn in favor of D.J. Moody for three hundred + eighty six dollars thirty three cents. 3rd Oct. 1836 James B. Miller."The meeting of the First Congress of the Republic Of Texas convened on October 3, 1836, in a pioneer wood meeting house in Colombia, serving as the capital of the Republic of Texas from 1836-1837. The present document is attributed as the eighth issue of receipt for land debt that was negotiated during the Mexican Texas period that was ultimately transferred the day of the First Congress of the Republic as a debt that would then be owed to the Republic of Texas. The willing act of transferring the debt was a Texian patriot act in itself. The implication of the present document is that the record shows that there are multiple votes to confirm that Gail Borden Jr. and his brother's printing and publishing company G. and T.H. Borden at the First Congress of the Republic of Texas. Both of the Borden brothers served as surveyors for Stephen F. Austin's colony. The brother's documented and published publicly the Journals of the Senate The Texas Republic Congress: Journals of the Senate First Congress-First Session in 1836 in Columbia. The Texas State Historical Association documents in the Handbook of Texas of Gail Borden Jr. having published The Telegraph and Texas Register the previous year and Telegraph the following year in Columbia from August 1836-April 1837. Though otherwise unmentioned as attendees of the First Congress of the Republic of Texas, the present document presents three more Texian patriots at the inaugural convention, Gail Borden Jr. (1801-1874), inventor, condensed milk tycoon, Daniel James Moody (unknown - active 1831-1836), and Dr. James B. Miller( 1801-1854), partner in medicine to Dr. Peebles. Provenance: Estate of Dr. Paul E.
