Dr Brother.
I cannot as yet inform you when I can leave here. I am still a prisoner
on bail. I am told that I shall probably be at liberty soon, but as it
depends on the am[n]esty law which has been returned to congress by
the executive, I can make no certain calculations.
You must not on any account or for any price sell the two leagues of
land I have on the east side of Labaca and Navidad at the junction of those
two streams—it is all the land I have there—as I shall dispose of it
myself. be particular and comply with this direction. Also you must not
sell the next league below San Felipe on the west of the Brazos nor the
league on the west fork of the Bernard next above Alexr Jackson's on
a side league as I wrote you long ago—be particular as to these
instructions. I prefer that you sell none of my land untill I get home if you
can get along without as I may make some arrangement myself that would
be interfered with by any sales you may make. All is peace and tranquility
in this part of the country and I believe every where
Love to Sister and all friends your brother

Let McKinney and Williams have what lots they need at the mouth of
the Brazos river.
