Col. STEPHEN F AusTIN D SIR I have wated Impatiently for a communication from you or some other of my friends in San Felipe. Since my arrival in this place I have lately Recived the following communications. one ·from Judge "'illiams one from Doctor Hunter one from Mr Wynn to vVm I-I. Bedford Esqr and one from Capt John S. Cox- they all bring verry distressing inteligence Respecting the Convul- tions in Edwards Thorns and dewitts Colonys. they also say some- thing about the constitution but their information on that subject does not corroberate. I have not bad the pleasure of any inteligence from your Coloney it is impossible for me to Express my anxiety on that subject but will be impossible to Recive an answer to this before I shall leave this for your Country. I shall set out about the middle of February, and if you have any oppertunity to write me at N. Orleans and you imagin. your communication can Reach thare before I shall take my departure from that place be so good as to write without fail. I have 20 families and 8 or 10 young men going to that country with me. the inteligence which the above com- munications brings us is quite discourageing yet such is the Ma.nia for Emigrating to your country that nothing but a positive prohi- bition from the Government will stop them. if such prohibitory measures should be Resorted to by the Government or any new Re- strictions on foreign Emigrants to the Government you will confur on me and my company a singular favour by giving us timely no- tice. if I heare nothing from you I shall land my company in the Brassos some time in March if in consequence of bad weather or Other accidents we shall be detained beyond the time limited in the contract between us which is the First day of April I Trust you will not insist on a forfeiture of the contract for it is with much trouble Expence and fatigue that I have to accomplish my part of it, and the removeing so large a company of women Children and Property is subject to many accidents Especially in going by sea.
