DEAR FRIEND-- yours of this date is before me and I hasten to answer
I am this moment been informed by Capt Balcer that Ors. Miller and Peebles have returned from Nacogdoche~, the latter having brought on the public papers- What is going to be done with them- I presume how- ever, he will keep them till the meeting of Congress. If Congress is held at this place a room will be very difficult to. obtain for the present. I am in hopes, however you can have an opportunity to look. over and regulate the papers- It would have been done before if I had had a Spanish Scholar- You can now·be accommodated by Austin B and Mr. Gritton- Mr. Gritton c~n do more business in the spanish than any person I know of. Austin will answer every purpose. Aunt Mary is at present very unwell, and not able to sit up You ask how she could be got down? I could send her in the Steam boat to any point you ,~sh on the Brazos-please inform me where. I regret much to hear of your ill health. hope you will soon be re- stored, and come up I will do every thing in my power to assist you with the papers, but Austin must help. In haste your friend G. BORDEN JR [Rubric] [Addressed: l Genl. S. F. Austin Peach Point
