Gen l\'[ B Lamar
Dr. Sr. M:;r Stark from Mississippi has come to our country for the purpose of running a line of mail stage;;: from Austin to Hous- ton; and he has come prepared not to do the talking ;.>ait, but to do real service; he has now in our Settlement 36 fine horses two first rate stages drivers &c, I believe that it will be in the power of the government to make arrangements with l\Ir Stark by which mutual benefit may be derived, l\fr Stark will tell you his views; and perhaps he may be able to comunicate to the Post Office Department information relative to the runing of Stage lines which will be of great advantage to our country As he is the first gentleman who has attempted this business on a large scale I think he deserves encouragement · Your friend
