HENRY AUSTIN TO AUSTIN
Brazoria 26 August /31
MY DEAR Srn, My health is so far restored that I am on my way to the mouth of the River for shells for my buildings and have hopes I have conquered the desease- I have been extremely anxious about you and [your] Sister's family, the fever is so prevalent that travel- ling in such intense heat as we have had is extremly hazardous, to persons unacclimated and even to you who are so hardy- John has brought on fever by riding in the sun but is nearly recovered- It positively will not do for either myself or Mr Perry to think of keeping our familys in this part of the country in the summer months, the insects alone would drive them mad. They have op- erated upon me at Bolivar like a perpetual blister. I wish much to accompany you to the upper country when you go. I beg you will advise me of your movements- at present I have five men under pay till the 10 th prox 0 and as nothing is clone unless I nm present, I do not wish to lenxe until then, still should you go sooner I would endeavour to join you.
