Dn Sm We sailed on the 29th. Oct from ·Mobile in Br. Nile- from :Mobile 5 days having just landed from the anchorange last night- and shall probably start for Houston on to-morrow I write you by a gentle- man who goes to-day- Sehr. Oscar started a week before you did- with the view of only touching at Galveston to land passengers- Saml. Rob- erts went on her- she has not come here yet- I was streneously advisd. not to go in her in consequence of her being in a leakfo.g con"llition & took passage in B. Nile which was expected to start in a few days after which she did but laid at anchor in Mobile bay a few days after we were on board in consequence of the wind being rather high- I hope however~ the Oscar may have arrivd safe. Haste Yours Respectfully THO. WILSON [Addrei.:sed:] Gen. M. B. Lamar Houston Texas
