Printed indenture executed in ink and signed in full by John O. Meusebach as Trustee of the German Emigration and Rail-Road Company drawing on the banking firm of H. Flersheim in Frankfurt for the sum of $3000 to be deposited to the account of the Company dated December 12. Meusebach a highly educated and civilized man came to Texas from Germany in 1845 to succeed Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels as commissioner-general of the Verein zum Shutze Deutscher Einwanderer in Texas in the course of which he assumed Texas citizenship oversaw the affairs of the colonists and accomplished the 1847 treaty with the Comanche chiefs which made colonization possible.
