Elisha Marshall Pease was probably the least known and written about of the early Texas Governors. Born in Connecticut, he arrived in Texas in January 1835 to serve at the Battle of Gonzales and Bexar. He also served as a clerk at the March 1, 1836 convention at Washington on the Brazos. There, the first draft of the Declaration of Independence for the Republic of Texas is possibly in his handwriting. In his late political career, at the time of the Civil War, he was often referred to as a Unionist because of his birth state of Connecticut.

Almighty God, we need rain. We realize now, looking up into the clear blue sky above what a marvel even the least drop of rain really is. To think that so much water can fall out of the sky, which now is empty and clear. We place our trust in You. We are sure that You know our needs, but You want us to ask You anyway, to show You that we know we are dependent on You. Look on our dry hills and fields, dear God, and bless them with the living blessing of soft rain. Then the land will rejoice, and the rivers will sing Your praises and the hearts of men will be glad. Amen.
