A.- Hunter took my saddle bags and never returned them- I wish you to take care o:f the bridle that Simon has as I like the bit-it is a good one- Williams rides down the little Grey-he is a favourite- I give him to Emily for her riding horse and she must not let any one else ride him nor have him abused- he is fresh shod and I intended to have taken him with me- he is a good horse- S.F.A [Addressed:] James F.

AUSTIN TO JAMES F. PERRY
April 22. 12 o'clock A. M:. 1833.
J. F. PERRY There is, I am told, some uneasiness that I shall [not~] insist on the approbation of the constitution as formed by the late con- vention- I shall try and get the law of 6 April 1830 repealed and a decla'ration that the people of Texas may legally convene in con-- vention to 'llW,ke a constitution- This much I expect to effect and no more- It is very evident that no act of mine can bind the people of Texas- What I do, if anything, shall be subject to their approbation of course-no one need have any fears that I will com- promise Texas improperly- The interest of Texas is my interest- Unfortunately we have some personal parties, amongst us-but this is an evil that will correct itself in time- I will write you all frequently-have confidence in me, untill you see what I do and then approve or punish as I merit-- I start in five minutes.
