AusTIN TO JAMES F. PERRY
Feb. 10 1832.
I saw a man the other day at Harrisburgh who told me that there were two horses between Dickinsons Creek and Clear Creek one a roan, they are represented to be gentle American horses- have you found all yours or has any one in your neighborhood lost any horses-if so let them know of these two- .. I hope you have not neglected to send to Brazoria for the peach and figs and orange trees and to H. Austin's for the grapes and plums-after this month it will be too late to set them out. .Genl. Santana has taken up arms against the present administra- tion of the general government and has possession of Vera Cruz and the castle there. So for as I can judge by the Mexican papers, that part of the nation is in a state of civil war- I wish if possible to keep peace in Texas, and think that Fisher will be removed from office i~ a few days and also that the guard at the mouth of the river will be ordered not to interfere with any vessels or perhaps it will be withdrawn entirely. I think the latter most :probable.· We are all well. · S. F. AusTIN [Addressed:] Mr. James F. Perry Chocolate Bayou
