No. 2376. LAMAR TO JAMES WEBB

DEAR JUDGE You will find in this bundle, the general power of attorney given to yourself- A Deed to 1\Irs Stephens, and one to ::\frs Sawyer giv- ing to each of them 320 acres of the J arbo track of Land- A· mort- gage on my Head-right in Fannin Co- together with the patent for the Same- Besides J arbo's patent and my own, I leave 10 other patents. The patents for my out Lots are in the Land Office; I leave 28$ of Texas money to pay the fees for the same- If Younger buys my Land_, pay Capt. Cady and Lamar Moore what I owe them; also the note I gave Capt Howe for a horse.- When you send my Headright patent to Fannin County to be re- corded, please let Sam Roberts know that I have done all that I could with the Govr to procure him the Judgship- Enclosed is five dollars to pay for Recording my Patent and the Mortgage given to G. B. Lamar; also I enclose Twenty dollars to be sent to Dr. Starr with my patents &c in part paymt for their record- ing- This is all that I can spare; I have reserved hardly money enough to take me to Laredo. Write Dr Starr that the balance due for recording will be sent him as soon as you can sell some of my land.- Col. Bell will return here in 5 or 6 weeks; and if he desires to pur- . chase my Cottage, he can have it for fifteen hundred dollars; upon a credit of ten for five hundred of the same, and twelve months, there- after for the balance viz $1000.- The property must be mortgaged for the payment of the money; and the whole fifteen hundred dollars to bear interest from the date of purchase. His notes, thus bearing interest I shall want to keep, to meet Gaz. B. Lamar's demands against me. I will endeavor to see you in the morning before I start- Duval must wait a while for his fee for drawing up the two deeds &C- If you get any money for my lands, pay him- I write in a most infernal hurrv- You.rs &C :M. B. LA~fAR- If Bell should not purchase my Cottage, I want James to rent it out; and he may have the rent for his trouble. 1\1 B L [Addressed:] Judge Jas. Webb-
