[Houston] Tri-Weekly Telegraph, November 1, 1861
Huntsville, Oct. 23, 1861.
The Texas Penitentiary is now supplied with Cotton, and no more will be taken at present.
The public are notified that all goods hereafter made are by order of the Governor, subject to the requisition of the Quartermasters of the Confederate States of America and must be so applied.
A fair price will be given here for WOOL, as we have determined to drive the Woolen Machinery all the time.
M. C. Rogers,
F. Agent Texas Penitentiary.
