Mr E. R. ,v- EIGHTMAN
Surveyor
.
I wrote a few days since to survey a quarter on the west side of Trespal~cios for John H. Scott, and one for John T. Brush. Since then C. Johnson hus applied for a quarter next below Scott on the same side.of_the creek- he says that he wishes it run so as to have some front on the manin Creek and then to run back of Scott across the Juanito I cannot say whether it can be run in that way or not, for I do not know the situation- you can therefore use your own discretion, always taking care not to give too much front, nor to injure the adjoining tracts, nor to have irregular vacancies- . S. F. AusTIN [Rubric] Make returns of these surveys as soon as you can as I wish to finish the titles before I leave for Saltillo A

. DEAR Sm Your favor of the 13th Oct by }rfr Ker reached me this morning, and contents observed. I regret much to learn that George·Fisher had turned out so badly. . I had formed a favorable opinion of°him. I am very glad that you have placed his character in its proper light before me us he may perhaps wend his way hither, having a family in Mississippi- ! am of opinion that the Emigration to Texas this 'Winter will be much ·greater than any previous season. If I may be allow~d to Judge from the many letters addressed to me from all parts of the United .States, asking information respecting the Country- By this conveyance I send you many letters etc received for the last two Mo• • I am much gratified to learn that things are going on well in Mexico, and that the present administration have better feelings towards North Americans, Should Genl Bustamante progress well
