I wish to take a Trip to N. Orleans to See if it will not facilitate my .recovery, and if the Commissioner can be prevailed upon to represent my Case to the Government at the Same time it is possible I may obtain a total Exemption, n.nd should I recover my health which I have much reason to doubt I may be useful to the publick in some- other wa.y-, will you have the goodness to lay the case before the comissioner and do all in your power for me, which I Shall always acknowledge as the gratest of favours.

MY ESTEEMED FRI~~:-
I received your letter of the 29 th of last month and I give you my sincere thanks for the just reflections that you make relative to the loss by early death of my brother. The mail arrived very late and is now leaving and I have not time to write much. In regard to the employment that the Government hns given to you as administrator [of the port] of Galveston I believe like you that for some time it will not produce sufficient to live upon. If it shall or shall not be productive in the future depends entirely on the progress of Texas, and it appears that this is doubtful on account of the last decrees sent out by the le<Yislature extraordinary and unknown in the Constitution which has°been established in Mexico. I think if the country was well established the office would be of sufficient consideration.
