The $8500 Bond having a long time to run- two years- I wish it to have two good names besides your own- an easy matter for you to obtain I well know a11cl it would be a matter of no little import to me that S. F. Austin is one of them. I name Gen! Austin, not because I believe he would make the debt more secure than hundreds of others you can obtain; but if I should have to hypothecate the bond to raise funds at any time, his high sounding 11ame as an Empresario will make the note go, while others not so well I...,1own might not. I try to be as explicit as possible in all my con- tracts, therefore seldom or ever have difficulty in closing or settling them. You will therefore appreciate my motives for being thus par- ticular. I will here observe that in case you wish or calculate the Flash to return to Galveston or the Brazos, there can be no doubt of her get- ting a full cargo at N. Orleans, as well as a no. of passengers. She will clear this trip back, probably from $1000 to $2000. You may rely on my doing all I can to promote your interest in the trip. Dr Patrick will get back to the bay before I leave for the U. States. I have been quite unwell since my arrival at this place, and feverish yet, though convalescing. I wish to say something to you on the political affairs of our adopted country, giving you my ideas on certain subjects, but will defer it until I am in better health. In the mean time beg leave to say that I place great reliance on hearing from you often while l remain in the. U. States- Letters will find me in N. York, particularly if di- rected to care of J. Treat, Esq.- With assurances of the kindest feel- ings for your health & happiness, Believe me, Dear Sir .Most truly Yrs. J. MORGAN (Addressed:] Genl. M. B. Lamar, Columbia. P Doct Geo. l\f. Patrick.
