over 10 or 15 per cent but the prospect for _the se~oncl year may be rated al from 20 lo 25 percent After deduclmg freight etc. I have presented lo Congress a plan for a Ban~ an cl asked for a charier for 30 years. I think it will succeed- Cap1Lal 1,000,000S diviclied into 10,000 Shares al lO0S each Jf it be obtained, it will facilitate much the Commercial and agricultural business of Texas. There is nothing in my opinion lo apprehend about a claim for fees in your old Colony. The present members are not of opinion that the Stale has any claim. I hope every thing may go on right and smooth at the fountain head, yet, I do not like appearances, here I believe the federal system has every thing lo expect, nothing to fear. · Samuel M.
