Matagorda Feby 1,1832
Col: S. F. Austin
My dear Sir I wrote you a few lines by Mr: Jaques, mentioning
my arrival: We are still entirely in an unsettled state; and I
therefore cannot do myself the pleasure to see you. I wrote you from
the U States respecting my land business which I am satisfied your
goodness will have promptly attended to. I have now to ask you
agreeably to your promise, to send me a power to vote upon your two
shares of the Matagorda Town tract. Let me ask you if you have
received your quota of the notes arising from the sale of the lots
thereof, as I understand there has been a division, tho' I have received
nothing. I should very much like to know when you start for
Saltillo, tho' I hope you may deem it most advisable to remain this
season in your own colony.
S. Rhoads Fisher.
Should Mr. Lesassier not have sent me the money that I wrote for,
I wish you my Dear Sir to urge him on the subject, as it is absolutely
essential I should have it.
S. R. F.
