Srn
I have written several letters to Texas, for the purpose of getting some information, which is to me important, and thus far l have failed- and J am induced to address this letter to you, hoping that your leisure will enable you to gratify my wishes- I have purchased the Claim of J olm O Allen who says he was a Soldier in Wards Bat- talion, and belonged to Capt Wynns Company, and that he is entitled to Land in the Republic of Texas, and afterwards he was on board the Schooner Invincible, and was arrested and tried as a Pirate in New Orleans.- This is a synopsis of the individual whose claim I haYe purchased, and it would be a Si11gular fayor, if you would have the Records examined, and write me, whether there is such a uame to be found on the Roll of Capt Wynns Company and \\"ards Battalion from Georgia- If so what amount of Land is he intitled to, and how must l proceed to get my claim- I hope you will pardon the liberty I have taken in this matter, and find an apology for me, by remembering that we are lioth Georgia11s, and that neither time nor distance can sepemte us in feeling and Sentiments, nor in attachment to onr Native Land. Also write me what is the Cost in getting pattents for Land in Texas.
