Col. S. F. AusT1N,
Harrisburg 19th. Augt. 1832 Sm, We have been favor'd with yours of the 17th. offering to charter the schooner Exert to transport the troops of Nacogdoches to Tampico. A voyage of the kind you have suggested will so materially interfere with our previous arrangements that we can- not consent to let our vessel perform it. The Exert is under con- tract to take a load of lumber from Galveston Island to Brnzorin- She is now ready (having lately undergone a thorough repair} and will sail tomorrow-We calculate on her arriving at Braz. by, or before, the 1st. Sept. There is no doubt of your obtaining the Martha-. We are not prepared to say whether provissions and a sufficient number of water casks are to be had for such a voyage. We have some provissions on hand and believe there are more nt Anahuac.
