Asking Austin to call with Father Muldoon to consummate the marriage contract between Barnett and his wife.

June 15th 1831

Dear Sir.

I have recently understood that yourself and Padre Muldoon will shortly pay a visit to the Fort Settlement, where the neighbourhood will assemble for the purpose of marriages, and Christening. Owing to the extreme indisposition of myself and the helpless situation of my family it will be inconvenient for me to attend. I have therefore to request you, and through you the Revr father Muldoon to call at my house on your way down, to the end that the marriage contract betwixt myself and wife may be consummated and my children christened.

I request also that you will have the goodness to inform me on what particular day it will be convenient for you to be at my house.

Thomas Barnett

Col. S. F. Austin
