Brazoria Feby 22d 1834
James F Perry Esq,
Your Esteemed favour under yesterdays date has been received
and I have delivered Simon Six Hoes of his own choice. We have no
information of Col. Austin since you was here
I have heard that McQueen has gone into the interior to hear
[what] was become of him but of this I am not certain Mr Williams
Expected now here and we may here something then
I have charged the hoes to you with the understanding you are to
pay by crediting Capt H Austin with them
I have not heard anything from Dick yet. Nor have I found any
one that is willing to work. I am in hope to make a sale for Capt
H Austin to help him out. You I suppose have heard of Hunter
Smiths overseer being drowned at Bolivar it happend when Capt
H. A was with me—
Edmund Andrews
