Colo. Austin
Enclosed are some letters to the departments of Governt. the forwarding of which by the earliest opportunity will confer a singular
favour.
We have no opportunity direct from here of communicating with
the Government.
I found in my return from your place that there had a consider
able storm arisen, heavy threats to send me over the Sabine; but I
came out in a Herricane and promised to send in irons any man who
dared acknowledge the threat to saltillo, sounded the trump all
around bidding defiance to all their threats and bidding them to
leave the lands or come forward and make arrangements to pay for
them. They are now all friendly promise to pay me for their lands
and spend their lives in my defence I expect Leftwitch on every
day and anticipate the happiness of spending some happy hours
united with yourself and the Baron whom I am in hopes will soon
return. I am crowded with friends and letters from every quarter
at this moment which prevents my saying a thousand things to you,
I am compelled to omit at this moment. Wishing you every prosperity and happiness remain yours
