Bexar ~fay 9 1833
Dr Sm, The legislature adjourned on the last of april and :Madero will soon be on (as he says in a letter to a person in this place). I wrote to him from here and informed [him] that you would be at home the last of this month, by which time I think he will be on. I owe something to Don Erasmo [Seguin]-he refused to receive pay for the time my brother staid here, and I have always staid here in my visits to Bexar and he never ~ould receive pay-he has planted cotton and wants a gin. I wish you to make arrangements to get. one for him on my account-not of the largest size, a strong gin of the common kind would suit him better than any other for it would be easier kept in order. I wish you to write to him on the subject. • The people here agree in substance with the rest of Texas but differ as to the manner, and will express no opinion for, nor against. I leave tomorrow for Goliad and :Matamoros, the whole country here is inundated by excessive floods of rain. The indians have killed two men within the last two days--one within three leagues •up Salado the other at Arroyo Hondo beyond :Medina. . S. F. AusTIN [Rubric] S. :M. Williams
