His Excellency
M. B. Lamar.
Dr. Sir, Mr. A. Ikin arrived here last evening per steam Packet Savannah, & is the bearer of dispatches from Genl. Hamilton. Mr. I. has as he informs me, copies of the treaties 31 entered into by Genl. H. with the Governments of G. Britian, Holland & Belgium, and proceeds this morning direct on his way to Austin. I enclose herewith two copies of the development of commerce, sent over for you by l\fr. Bryan from N. orleans, & both containing articles relative to the late recognition &c & the various relations & consequences growing out of the same. By a Neworleans paper (the "Picayune") saw it stated that your brother Jefferson J. Lamar, died on the 15th. of December, of the wound recd. some two months before-an event which I presume was anticipated by you, from information from time to time received from the members of your family in Georgia. Your friends here express great anxiety and concern about your illness-We. have heard nothing about you of late, only that you had got so far as Dr. Hoxsies-We are however in hopes that you have before this been able to renew your journey, and shall look for you by every boat from Houston. Should you however be delayed on account of your protracted illness, will you let me know it, and command my humble services and serve in any way or manner that they can be of use. ' I have the honor to be Dr. sir, with great respect, your grateful & obliged friend and humble servant, Alden A. JJI. Jackson. [Addressed] [Endorsed] Unofficial. His Excellency Mirabeau B. Lamar President of Texas. Alden A. l\I. Jackson Galveston Jan: 10th. 1841
