My Dear Sir,

This will be handed you by Mr Murray who was formerly engaged in business for my Brother He visits Texas perhaps to remain The report he makes of the Country will be well received by those who know him He has at one period of his life enjoyed what the world would call prosperity Any aid you can render him will in adversity be acceptable to him and oblige me.
