notice
All the emigrants who have removed here as a part of the families
which I am authorized by the Govt to settle in Texas and who have
not received their deeds are notified that they must furnish me in
person as soon as possible with a list of their names, where from,
the number and sex of their white family—the number of servants—
and the day they arrived in this Colony—I hope none will neglect
this for those who neglect this notice will have cause to repent it.
A certificate will be issued to each one who thus applies and is recd
by me as a part of said families, which will be an incipient step to
their getting a title. Fifty cents must be paid to the secreta[ry] by
each one, when the said certificate is issn[edj and ten dollars must
be paid to said secretary on receipt [of] title, and fifty dollars to
me in one and two years after receipt of title this sum being for
the expense and labor of translating and attending to the business for
which we are entitled to pay. I reserve the right of changing these
terms for those who do not apply until after the first of Jany next.
