Da BBO'l'HER,
I have the satisfaction of acknowledging the receipt of yours of 2 4 October from New York, and of informing you of the safe arrival of the Nelson. I rec 4 a letter yesterday from John Austin stating that the Nelson was at Brazoria and he was then unloading your goods-She lost her false keel coming over the bar and thumped severely-the bar is much worse than when you came over-Henry Austin came near loosing his Steam boat going out, he put to Sea very much damaged and I have not heard of him since- I wrote to John to follow your instructions strickly a.s to the goods, and not open them untill Mr Hunter arrives. I have not yet finished
