THE AUSTIN PAPERS
first instalment thus paid in, to the Commissioners of Texas, and hold said Bonds as an additional guarantee for the payment of said notes. s. F. AUSTIN Phi 0 • April 9. 1836 SIR, I have taken the liberty of submitting to you a proposition for the nego- tiation of a loan of $500,000 for the Government of Texas, to which I would respectfully ask your consideration, provided no arrangement can be made on the basis of which we conversed today. The personal interest you were kind enough to express for the welfare and success of my struggling country, together with your intimate knowl- edge _of such operations have induced me to make this communication. Your answer as to your opinion of its practicability, the amount that could probably be obtained in this City, the manner in which the subject should be presented, and the willingness of the Bank to accept the Trust, and nego- tiate the paper, with such other suggestions as you may think important, would greatly add to the obligation, I feel under to you for kindness and attentions already received. s. F. AUSTIN
