DEAR AUSTIN Anxiously and impatiently have I waited your return but at last shall have [to] go without seeing you. , My .business proved to be so ))ad here that I leave this [place] in worse circumstances than I came. I now go [to] the .A,cienda de los Hornos to cure the family,· and shall also practice,some in Piuras. .I am not permitted to go further on account of an order of the all wise govl· but perhaps I . may break the order. They may talk of 'folta buen gobier.no .' but that is not the complaint, all the government .in the world would not make them worth the powder that it wonlcl take to blow them to Hell-that which God made fo.r a Jack Ass can not be educated so as to m~ke a fine Horse. . There is nothing to be hoped from this govt--for a stranger be him ever so fine. I shall set out in the morning for Parras in which place I shall remain one or 2 months I shall keep up .n correspondence with Dn. Grigor.io Montanez in Saltillo ,vith whom I leave all the letters from your brother, and from whorne you mny learn something concerning me a french gentleman 'named Francois Michaud offered to take me home at his own expense but J.would not impose on his goodness. I remain. your e,,er sincere ·friend, ANDREWS [Addressed :f A Sr Dn Estefan F. Austin Presente
