etc and I shall be well satisfied if they will remain my enemies for the balance of their lives-Tony and them are birds of the same frathcr- An effort was made in Jany. to make a territory of Texas, but it failed- another effort was about to be made when my esposicion came out, which has also died away. The last clause of my esposicion was intended to kill this project, and it has had the effect. A proposicion was made sometime since to renew the 11 article of the law of 6 april which I am told will die en commission-so that upon the whole my personal sufferings will result to the advantage of Texas, by removing prejudices and leading to inquiries that have satisfied everyone- This is some consolation at least- It is in fact a full reward for all my trouble and persecution. My constituents at home ought to be satisfied with me- I have done my duty towards them, regardless of my own personal interests or safety- I have paid my own expenses and they have been very great indeed. The Chihuahua road is a great hobby with me- I intend to persevere untill it is completed, and then I am done with empresas- I have written to Chihuahua on the subject and think the whole influence of that state can be inlisted in this great enterprise-it is the last and only object of my ambition- Cotton will be in great demand here next year, it is so now- I saw an ascension by Mr. Robertson on the 12 instant-he descended 14 leagues South of this beyond the mountains that surround the valley of Mexico- he returned to day all well you will see it in papers- Grayson left last week for New Orleans via Vera Cruz- I am going to the Theatre so adios S. F. A. I am told Aguirrie has sold those claims a second time and perhaps a dozen times see to it before it is too late- Write home that I am well- I am waiting for the Amnesty law, for I am still on bail- [Addressed:] (Coahuila y Texas) Al sor D.
