Since March 25 Gray had been with Triplett at Harrisburg, where he found his
friend "in high spirits" because he believed that "satisfactory terms for
the arrangement of the loan contract [are] to be consummated tomorrow."
The actual negotiotions with members of the Texas interim government continued
to drag, and discussions were still underway on March 31 when Gray and
Triplett signed this document. The "loan matter," as Gray described
the arrangement between financial agent Triplett and the Texas cabinet, was
concluded the next day. The Gray-Triplett document provided that those
parties could settle their business independently of the Texas government.
