Mr. Selkerk or Weightman

Dr Sir. We shall endeavor to find you at some place on the coast and wish you to fire the prairie at different places as you go along— In case we do not find you, I wish you to continue on the meanderings to the forks of Karankawy, and then go to John Browns, where you will find a letter of instructions S. F. Austin [Rubric]
