Gentlemen. This will be handed to you by Mr. Geo.: Fisher, who returns as Collector of Galveston, and I particularly recommend that he be firmly sustained in the discharge of his duties, and that any excitement which may have existed heretofore may be totally forgotten, and buried in oblivion.

By following this recommendation you will benefit the interest of the farmers and regular Merchants and materially oblige your

S. F Austin.

A true Copy of the original, in my possession, which I certify.

Geo. Fisher.
