Matagorda Feby 1,1832

Col: S. F. Austin

My dear Sir I wrote you a few lines by Mr: Jaques, mentioning my arrival: We are still entirely in an unsettled state; and I therefore cannot do myself the pleasure to see you. I wrote you from the U States respecting my land business which I am satisfied your goodness will have promptly attended to. I have now to ask you agreeably to your promise, to send me a power to vote upon your two shares of the Matagorda Town tract. Let me ask you if you have received your quota of the notes arising from the sale of the lots thereof, as I understand there has been a division, tho' I have received nothing. I should very much like to know when you start for Saltillo, tho' I hope you may deem it most advisable to remain this season in your own colony.

S. Rhoads Fisher.

Should Mr. Lesassier not have sent me the money that I wrote for, I wish you my Dear Sir to urge him on the subject, as it is absolutely essential I should have it.

S. R. F.
