Dr Sir

I mentioned in my letter to you herewith delivered, that I had commenced the building of a boat, for the purpose of lighting or unloading the schooner; which I am bound to have completed; and on leaving New Orleans I neglected to get a whip saw and some files; which I must beg the favor of you to borrow, and if you have none of your own to use your influence to get for me, and I will have special carp taken of her; and returned.

Station On Labaca Sept 3rd 1826.
