Major Isaac Thomas of Rapide has sent me a Memorandum to the
following effect—
"Mrs Mary Hall exchanged with Archival P Williams a tract
"of land on the Bayou Robert of two hundred arpents, one half
" of which was the property of the heirs—I have a twelve month
"bond against Mrs Hall for $700.—Now if the heirs will all go
"before Judge Austin and relinquish all their claim to said two
" hundred arpents of land in favor of Williams he will pay my bond
" and discharge Mrs Hall therefrom—one of the heirs is a minor and
" must [be] represented in the sale or relinquishment conformably
" with the laws of Texas, after the title is there made it must be
" sent to the Govr- to get his certificate that the act of Judge Austin
" in receiving the conveyance is comformable to the laws of Texas "
(Signed) J. Thomas
The above is Thomas's memorandum, I presume you understand
the nature of it and if you wish to have the business done, I shall
be at Bells on the 5 of July at which time you can bring forward
all the heirs
