New Orleans Septem: 8. 1836
To his Excellency D G Burnett President of the Republic of Texas Sir,
Our last was by the Flora since when we have no arrivals
from your place.
The Sehr: Flash leaves this Evening. It is sooner than we anticipated, but the Captain has concluded to go, for he will not have an oppurtunity by Steam for four days hence if he does not take advantage of it this Evening.- We have only time to enclose Bill Lading, 12 Tierces Rice, Forty BBls Bread lO0Bbls Flour I0Kegs Bar Lead IO Sacks Salt I Cask I Box I Keg I Demijohn Medicines, for a/c the Government-We have been deceived in the Bread, the Baker had ready 200 bbls a few days since, but was ordered we believe to sell 160. We were unable to procure a vessel to proceed to Copano & hope these articles may reach you in time to dispatch them by the Flash. There are no Bullett moulds to be had here-As the Bills & receipts are not in, we cannot say whether 5 Sells Stamp have been shipped-
