Woodville March 1st 1825
Dear Sir,
I wrote a letter to you a few days ago by Mr. George Huff by the
way of New Orleans, informing you that it was my intention to
procure and settle the League of land that you had promised Messrs
Huff and Holliman to reserve for me, and will leave here on the first
of June next, for your Country for that purpose, and request the
favour of you still to retain it for me as I am determined to procure
it if possible and no accident happens. Mr. K. Holliman wrote to
you by Mr. L. Ramey who is gone with Mr. Huff informing you
that he could not go before the first of November next and his reasons
etc which you will receive—Mr. Michael Holliman will go with me
together with several others all with the same views—The bearer Mr.
William P. Perkins is waiting on me and have not time to say more
at present but will write again if an opportunity offers for fear of
miscareges—
H. CONNELL
