No. 1887 1840 Sept. 10, J. MORGAN NEW WASHINGTON, [TEXAS] TO JU. B. LAMAR, AUSTIN, [TEXASJ 8 New Washington 10th. Sept. 1840. Dear Sir, Much as I dislike to trespass on your privacy I am led to do so now, to inquire of you whether the papers I sent up, in re- gard to Genl. Swartwout's [sic] advances for our naval vessels in New York in 1836 ever reached you. You will not have forgotten the conversation we had at our interview at Galveston when I last had the pleasure of seeing you there. May I ask the favor, if not already attended to, that you will give this matter your early attention- It will confer a singular favor on Genl. S. and one for which I will feel greatly indebted also.
With every respect,
yr. l\lo. Obt Sert. J Morgan. [rubric] [Endorsed]
