Lexington 7 June 1822.
Sir
I beg leave to introduce to you Mr. Elijah Noble who is attracted
to Texas by the advantages which its fine soil, climate and cheap
hands are supposed to offer. Mr. Noble is associated with other
Citizens of this State who contemplate a removal thither, if the
results of his present visit shall seem to favor their enterprize. I.
have no doubt that they would prove a valuable addition to the
population of the province; and I shall be obliged by your rendering
to Mr. Noble every facility towards the accomplishment of his
object which may be in your power
I have the honor to be
Your ob. Servant
H. Clay.
Stephen F. Austin Esqr.
