Concerning settlement of the Hawkins estate.

[About September 14, 1832.]

Mr S. F. Austin

Dear Sir, I avail myself of an opportunity afforded through Col. John Thompson Mason of addressing you on the subject of the interest of Hawkins heirs in the Texas property. I will thank you to confer with Mr. Mason and between you devise some plan to relieve you from the unpleasant situation which from your letter to me through Mr. Mason you state that you are placed in relation to this property. I am from every information I have, disposed to do in the matter so far as my power extends whatever you and Mr. Mason may think I ought or can do. Please if you chalk out a course to give me the forms of the transaction which would be authentic in your country— I deputed Mr. Martin to act as agent, but I have not heard a word from him.

R. Hawes

This letter is directed to Mr Mason at Cincinnati Ohio, who has proffered to bear it.

[Addressed:] Col. John T. Mason Care of Major Henrie Innkeeper Cincinnati Ohio.
