:MEMORIAL TO THE LEGISLATURE
The Empresario Stephen F Austin respectfully solicits in behalf of the Colonists settled by him in this Province that the Govern- ment will be pleased to forward Copies of the Laws and particularly relative to the following points. first-The Law relatiYe to the settlement of the estates of de- ceased persons and the mode of settling Where the Heirs or a part of them live out of this Nation- second--The Law relative to the Collection of debts Contracted by the Colonists out of this Nation previous to their removal here- This is very important for if the Settlers can be sued and their property taken here for debts due in the U. States of North America before they have time to establish themselves and make any thing they will be totally ruined. They have some of them spent all they had to move and settle themselves in this uninhabited Country, they will however be able by Cultivating Cotton to pay all their Debts if time is given them, but if their Land and property can be taken for those debts it will ruin them and be of more injury to the im- provement of this Country than any thing that Could happen-I
