AusTIN TO JAMES F. PEnnY
Dr BROTHER Brasoria Sept. 27. [1832] I am dividing the land with Hawkins estate, and shn.11 go to San felipe tomorrow in about ten clays I shall return and run the di- viding lines- I have left a letter for yon with James "Westall as to the place where you must improve so as not to interfere with the pa.rt that Hawkins gets. • I am fast getting through my business· and before spring I will take leave of public matters for the balance of my lifo- I intend to live principally with you, or near you and go to farming. Love to Emily and Lavinia S. F. AusTIN [Rubric] What does Col :Morris ask for his improvements The land on oyster Creek below Mitchels falls to me in the division, inquire of Hodge what kind of land it is. I am tolq. that the cane comes to the Prairie just below Mitchels line-that would be a good place for a farm, and not over 12 miles from Pleasant Bayou to go straight, but there would be three Creeks to bridge-it would be un- healthy perhaps on oyster creek merely inquire of Hodge generally as to the land-how wide the cane is and how the land is for 4 or 5 Miles down the creek below Mitchels, without telling him whose it is etc also ask him how the land is between oyster creek nnd Bay- lies prairie and out side the cane S. F. A. What do you think Col Morris improvement is worth- [Addressed :] Mr. James F. Perry Pleasant Bayou· FRANcisco M.
