No. 2232. HUGH McLEOD TO LAMAR
Galveston November 10th 1846
DEAR GENL, Your letter with enclosures to Mr Moreland Magee &c- & also to Evans & Judge Webb came to hand by M:cLane. The letters have been sent, & I am offering the carriage for sale, but everybody complains of its weight, and sale will be difficult on that account- We are in tolerable health, Poor Fisher died last month very sud- denly as you have heard before this- The cotton crop is scant, & business dull- I didn't run for Congress, because the West was already fixed & no interest taken- & the renomination by Herbert's Company never reached me till McLane came after the election- I think Pillsberry will be elected- The returns, as far as in, show Williams far behind where he was last year. Caz's Father is staying with us- Where is Caz?- Has he made anything, & Cant you aid him in future- Yours ever Gen l\f B Lamar H McLEOD [Endorsed:] H. McLeod- to Gen. Lamar 11/10 Sale of carriage?
