DEAR BROTHER, I expect to leave here for home this week by way of Vera Cruz or Tampico unless I meet with company going by land in which event I would go that way, as the fever is generally bad on Lhe coast and in New Orleans so late in the summer. Eve·rylhing is tranq·uil in this part of the country- Congress is to meet in extra session on the 19 of this month- There seems to be no doubt that the system of Govt will be changed from·federal to central, tho it prob- ably will be some monlhs before the new conslitution can be framed and published . There are many reports and falsehoods circulated here about Texas. I believe that the most of them originate with persons who wish the Govt. to send the most of the army there, so as to leave an open field for revolu- tion here, in the absence of the army This has been a very hard trip ·upon me, but I anticipate a quiet life with you when I get home
