Bexar, 4th August 1835
James F. Perry Esq
Dear Sir,
Immediately on my arrival here I made enquiries after our mutual
friend Col. Austin and learned from Col. Ugartechea that he is still in
Mexico, doing well and at liberty. An Officer is here who lately left that
capital and brings the intelligence, I shall therefore endeavour to find
him out and will transmit to you further particulars Being much occupied
I have no time for more than to Subscribe myself
