Dear Sir I have received your esteemed of the 10th of
September by the way of Mr. Ybarra and to which I answer albut
immediately. I learn in it, that you are very busy, and that the colony
has sufered a good deal of feaver, and that you have wrote to your
friends for the seeds in question etc Colonel Austin is here, en
Saltillo, and has talked with Ybarra on the subject of the seeds, and
I too, I had three large conversations with him on the subject of my
former letters to him advising him that I had renounced my project
of going to the brazos, as a minister, etc he upon the whole, was very
satisfied with me. But he told me that he should be glad if I would
go thither to establish a Spanish school, that he had solicited a
Spanish Master for that purpose in the U. S. and could obtain none,
that, at his arrival, he will try, (according to his wishes) to form a
school, to Justify a teacher, and he would write me the result, and
that in the meantime I would continue to write you both from time
to time. As he has told me that you take the News paper called the
Eagle, I shall tell you nothing of politics because you will see in
that paper all what is passing of interesting; altho I might advise
you to discontinue the subscription of that one to subscribe to the
Sun which is better and cheaper.
Since I have left Saltillo I was told by a good authority that the
Provisor has named a priest to go to yours parts, and the Colonel
told me he would go and see him on the subject.
This, Dear sir, is all what I can write worth of your notice, seing
that the Colonel will inform you of all and he will not difer his
return. in the meantime I remain your very respectfull and
obedient servant
