Concerning settlement with the Hawkins heirs.

New Orleans 22 March 1832

Col: Stephen F. Austin

Dear Sir, I have perused with some attention you letter of the 30 Jany last and think with you that the representatives of our lamented friend Hawkins has been sensurable, in the great neglect shown with regard to the Texas grant but I have some reason to believe Col: John Thompson Mason (now somewhere in the Mexican States) has authority to divide land and settle all accounts. Until the fate of his mission is known I shall urge the representatives no farther but should I be mistaken, there is now here a relative who will visit you, and I presume be cloathed with full power to act— he will set out at any time that may be advised.

Mr. Carbajal is still here but returns in a few days with quite a small venture, having failed in making any collection from Mr Bowie as contemplated It affords me great pleasure to find his conduct has been such as to gain your Esteem

Nath: Cox.
