1841 July 23, THOMAS BLACKWELL, BRAZORIA, [TEXAS], TO LAMAR, GALVESTON, [FORWARDED TO] AUSTIN, [TEXASJ 16 Brazoria 23 July 1841 }f. B. Lamar, Dear Sir, I received a letter a few days ago from Wm. G. Dryden, he was in Santa Fe when he wrote, he stated he had writen to you,1 7 but requested me to write to you, as you might not get his letter, and inform you that all was right in Santa Fe; he said he had conversed with the Govenor of Santa Fe, and that he as well as the people-were willing that Texas might establish her law and hold her Government over that coun- try, to use his words "all is right then for a project of that Kind." One other piece of information of his is that the Comanches have gon[e] North to make a treaty with the northern tribes, and those that attempt to make the trip to Santa Fe will be in no danger from them, this is fortunate for those that have started; he speeks highly of the country, and its prosperous condition as well as the advantages that might result to Texas by such· a union; his letter was dated the 10 March 1841; he got to Santa Fe in September last. I write you this_, that if you should not have received the letter he wrote to you, that you may know the kind of reseption the party you have dispachecl to that country will meet with on their arrival.
Yours respectfully &c Thomas Blackwell [Endorsed]
