NATHANIEL Cox TO AusTIN
New Orleans 22 March 1832
Col: STEPHEN F. AusTIN DEAR Sm, I have perused with some attention you letter of the 30 Jany last and think with you that the representatives of our la- mented friend Hawkins has been sensurable, in the great neglect £hown with regard to the Texas grant but I have some reason to believe Col: John Thompson Mason (now somewhere in the Mexi- can States) has authority to divide land and settle all accounts. Until the fate of his mission is lmown I shall urge the representa- tives no farther but should I be mistaken, there is now here a relative who will visit you, and I presume be cloathed with full power to act- he-will set out at any time that may be advised. Mr. Carbajal is still here but returns in a few days with quite a small venture, having failed in making any collection from .Mr Bowie as contemplated It a:ffords me great pleasure to find his conduct has been such as to gain your Esteem NATH: Cox.
