JOHN BOWMAN.TO STEPHEN F. AUSTIN

Mercer County Kentucky April 28 th 1811

DEAR STEPEN' It has been a considerable time.since we parted and I have not had the pleasure of hearing one single word from you since January although this is the third time I have written, you have not thought it worth while to answer me, and I had concluded not to have troubled you again with a letter but meeting with this opportunity, th 0 at a late hour of the night; the very high regard I always had for you from our first acquaintance and the very friendly maner in which I was treated by you and the family while in Louisianna almost destitute of friends or acquaintances impell me once more to address ,you-but should I not receive an answer t.o this i~ a convenient time
