San Felipe de Austin 7th June 1831
Dear Sir
I have just learned that you have arrived I expect your house
is crowded with those that are wanting to know the news from the
Interior therefore I dont wish to call on you at the early hour.
I and my friend Alexander Thomson has been ordered forthwith
to the place from whence we came and all those that we brought
with us Mr Williams and the Alcade of this jurisdiction are ordered
to see that we do so. I am anxious to know our fate my own I
dont care for although I have spent a fortune in what is called the
Nashville Colony—but [for] esq Thomson and the unfortunate
settlers who we have brought with us I have great anxiety. I expect
you can give me all the information on the subject and you will
please do so. report says our colony is given to Mr Williams,
please wright to me on the subject and the fate of our settlers also
the fate of Esq Thomson—whether we have to leave the country
or not
