Alexandria April 15. 1824
Dr Sir.
The bearer Mr. Thomas Westall, an old neighbour of mine in
Tennessee, having come this far on business has concluded to go into
your section of the c'try, with the view if he is pleased with the
country of removing to it.—
I have long been personally acquainted with Mr. Westall, and
know him to be an honest—industrious and useful citizen. Any
kindness that you may be able to show him, will be greatfully
received, and thankfully acknowledged.
J. Thomas
Honr. Stephen F. Austin.
