Declining to charter schooner to transport troops to Tampico. (Omitted.)[Document is included - DML]

Col. S. F. Austin,

Harrisburg 19th. Augt 1832

Sir, We have been favor'd with yours of the 17th. offering to charter the schooner Exert to transport the troops of Nacogdoches to Tampico. A voyage of the kind you have suggested will so materially interfere with our previous arrangements that we cannot consent to let our vessel perform it. The Exert is under contract to take a load of lumber from Galveston Island to Brazoria— She is now ready (having lately undergone a thorough repair) and will sail tomorrow—We calculate on her arriving at Braz. by, or before, the 1st. Sept. There is no doubt of your obtaining the Martha—. We are not prepared to say whether provissions and a sufficient number of water casks are to be had for such a voyage. We have some provissions on hand and believe there are more at Anahuac.
