DEAR Sm, The IJparer ol' this is Col Hinton of Alabama, he visits your country with the Yiew of sPttleing in the Republic of Texas, and to settle and adjust some claims he has from his friends relative [to] Lands &c. The charac-tcr and standing of this Gentleman will be his own best recom- mendation. It however gives me great pleasure to add my humble teastamoney to the talents, and worth of Col. H. may I therefore ask the favour of you to render him such aid, as may be in your power, and to make his stay amonghst you as agreeable as possible- In conclusion let me hope that the claims of my lamentNl relation Dr. John W. Baylor may not be over looked by yonr Rcpublic- From the exposure, suff<>ring, and sacrifices he made for the Liberty and Independence of Texas, together with his untimely end l must believe your Pountry will <lo justice io his memory, and amplely reward his little hrothPrs and sistPrs, who are now Fathcrlcs~. Col. Hinton has the name of the heirs of Dr. Baylor and can explain every thing about this matter, with feelings of Kind remembraucr I remain Respectfully Your Friencl R. E. B.\ YI.Ott
