little money Mr Hanna let him have the amt of the whole was to the best of my recollection between forty and forty five Dollars which sum was considered as to appear against :Mr Pettus's charge for attending to the transportation of the Cavellada. The afore- mentioned Horses and Mules I know were considered by Mr Hanna (with the exception of three or four mules) of an indifferent quality. Mr Hanna having told me that the person with whom he tra.ded Mr David Price of Labahia had cheated him in the quality of the animals having delivered those of a.n indifferent quality: I was afterwards informed by Mr Price that he had not given Horses and :Mules of good quality owing to Mr Hanna's taking him in, in the price of the goods given in payment for them. In the month of February I was·at l\fr Groces' place on the Bra.sos when Mr Massey came there and informed Mr G. he was in possession of a note given by Mr ..William Pettus which he wished him to buy or he Massey would attach a Negro and sell it to Mr Groce, Mr G. informed Mr :Massey that he had once had a Brother of Mr Pettus's living with him and that there had been a difference between them and he was fearful that :Mr William Pettus would think that Mr Groce in purchasing the note or negro acted from feelings of private animosity and declined having anything to do with it. Mr :Massey staid at Mr Groce's two days and nights endeavoring to in- duce Mr G. to trade with him. Mr Groce declined and Massey then said he would go to the alcalde and get out an attachment. Mr Groce advised him not and told [him] he believed he would be able to arrange it without sueing. Province of Texas Brasos 18 Octt· 1823. SAML. WILLIAMS [Rubric] [E:11dorsed :] S. M.
