No. 2397. LAMAR TO J. P. HENDERSON
Galvezton 5rd J anry 1849.
DEAR GENERAL I addressed a letter to you sometime since from Austin, Travis Co respecting my Eleven League Grant- In that letter I requested you to reply without delay to the enquires contained therein & to direct your answer to me at Galveston where I should remain until I could receive it- I have now waited J.1early a month to hear from you but have recd nothing from your hands--;- My delay here, has put me to much inconvenience & expense- I· can remain no longer, and must therefore request you to send your replies to my letters, to me at :Macon Georgia, to the care of Dr. Thos. R. Lamar my brother- The questions [which I asked in] my first letter, I beg leave to present again, as I am deeply interested in the subject matter of them- You will please therefore, inform me, whether you have had the Deed & titles of Zavala and his wife to me recorded? What compromises have you made with the intruders on Said land? How many suits in Court have you instituted against those who refuse to Compromise? What will the probable results be, in your opinion, respecting said Land- will I finally lose it or be able to keep it? What are the chances & what are the principal difficulties you have to encounter? Please respond to these enquiries as soon as possible; and also give me such counsel and advise respecting the entire matter ·as you may think will be useful to me.- The grant, as I have stated heretofore, belongs to a company, and I am more than anxious to have their interests & rights protected-with regard to the small interest which I hold in the same, I am willing to loose if that could be the means of securing the others- I am con- cerned only on their account; and as I am now going to Georgia an fd J shall see them there, I wish to be [able to give] them all the informa- tion . . . [faded] necessary for them, and I must depend upon your furnishing it as soon as possible.- I sincerely hope that I may find a letter from you on my arrival at Macon.- your sincere friend M. B. LAMAR-
