[AUSTIN to WILLIAMS]
Mexico Jan 21, 1835
SM Williams Dr Sir,
I am told (but know not if truly) that the three claims I bought in Saltillo in 1833 [1832] have been sold again several times by the original grantee, since he sold them to me I apprise you of this that proper care may he taken to prevent being cheated by such bad faith and unprincipled conduct. I hope to leave here in two or three weeks and to meet you in Monclova I shall try to get there by the 1 of March Austin's· business is not yet finished but he expects it will be in ten or twelve days so that he can leave-he stands well with the present administration and men now in power and also with the leading members of congress-hut this is no time to do any thing-the politics of the day absorhe every thing and are of too much interest to permit anyone lo think of other matters.
