Alexandria La Sept 20. 1824.
Dr Sir.
Russel H McWaters and his brother in law Mr Samuel Fulton-
two intimate friends of mine have determined to visit your ctry.
Their views like those of many others are not very definite—Tho
well situated here I presume they would locate themselves with you
should the prospect be as flattering as they anticipate. These young
men are not only respectable themselves, but are members of a
numerous, wealthy and respectable connexion.
Should they become your neighbours I feel assured, that you will
not regret any favor that you may think proper to extend to them.
