THE AUSTIN PAPERS
My constituents at home ought to be satisfied with me- I have done my duty towards them, regardless of my own personal interests or sarety- 1 have paid my own expenses and they have been very great indeed. The Chihuahua road is a great hohby with me- I intend to persevere untill it is completed, and then I am done with empresas- .I have written to Chihuahua on the subject and think the whole influence of that state can be inlisted in this great enterprise-it is the last and only object of my ambition- Cotton will be in great demand here next year, it is so now-. I saw an ascension by Mr. Robertson on the 12 instant-he descended 14 leagues South of this beyond the mountain[s] that surround the valley of Mexico- he returned to day all well you will see it in papers- Grayson left last week for New Orleans via Vera Cruz- I am going to the Theatre so adios S. F. A. I am told Aguirrie has sold those claims a second time and perhaps a dozen times see to it before it is too late::.- Write_home that I am well- I am waiting for the Amnesty law, for I am still on bail- [Addressed:] (Coahuila y Texas) Al sor D. Samuel M. Williams Monclova
