Mr J AS. F. PERRY
DEAR Sm I send you a commission from the court here to take an Inventory of the property belonging to the Estate of J obn Ran- don deceased, which is in your neighborhood, and to deliver the same over to :Mrs. Susan Randon guardian of the minor heirs of John Randon etc. I presume however the property has been hired for the year. If so lvirs. Randon had better let the negroes remain where they are, taking the obligation of the hirer's to deliver them and pay the hire to her on the 1st of January next. No news from Col. Austin. Bexar will send a memorial in his favor. Almonte has also written to the same effect. W. BARRET TRAVIS [Rubric] [Addressed:] lVIr James F. Perry Near Brazoria Mr. Jack To JAMEs F. PERRY .

Santana put me in communication soon after he resumed the Govt. in May-The treatment I recd from the vice President Gomez Farias was in the highest degree rigid and marked through out by strong P~rsonal.feeling which I attribute in part to the result of an inter- view I had with him the first of October, in which he was highly offended at me because I stated that the affairs of Texas required the prompt attention of Government for the people there had taken the position, that if the evils. which threatened that cmvnt1-y witl1, ruin were not .remedied by tlie Govt, ilie people of Texas wo-ul,il A US'I'IN TO JAMES F.
