I take the liberty of asking some information of you which will be thankfully received if rendered. I purchased some two years past while on a visit to 11[ob·ile some Texas Land scrip of Col Coleburn of that Country. I have not since that time been able to get nny satisfactory information in relation to the validity of scrip & the location of the same. This scrip was issued hy "The Colorado & Red river Land Co." Also other scrip issued by "The Rio Grand and Texas Lnncl Co" with the privilege of being located in two or either of two certain Grants known as the "Beales river Grant" and the "Woodbury Grnnt"- If My scrip is good for anything or if I can locate it I wish to come to 'l'exas in the Winter. Your attention to this will oblige Your Obt Svt- GEO. \r. nrxtl.\:\[ P S Plen~e ,lirC'ct yom letter to Riceboro Ga nllll to the Care of ?lfess R Goring & Co of New Orleans. f Addressed:] Oen. :'llirnbeau Lamar Houston Tf'xas [Endorsed:] George W.
