Dr Sir
I mentioned in my letter to you herewith delivered, that I had
commenced the building of a boat, for the purpose of lighting or
unloading the schooner; which I am bound to have completed; and on
leaving New Orleans I neglected to get a whip saw and some files; which
I must beg the favor of you to borrow, and if you have none of your
own to use your influence to get for me, and I will have special carp
taken of her; and returned.
Station On Labaca Sept 3rd 1826.
