Saltillo September 23d 1832
Dear Uncle
This will inform you that I am well, and recd, your letter of the
4 of this month this morning and with much pleasure, and glad to
hear that you have arrived safe home and that you found all the
family well, you need not be uneasy about me, I am now living
with Mr. Sharpe. I did get tiard of Friholes and Tortillos and went
out to Parras and stayed with Doct Grant about 4 or 6 weeks, and
when I started to cotoe a way he told me that he would not let me
go back to Saltillo unless, I would promise not, to go and live with
Grande aney more, but live with Mr Sharpe, and I though it was
the best plan myself, and so I was not above a month and a half with
Grande, the Doct. is a great friend of yours and of the Colony, he
has elected 2 biputados [diputados] at Parris in favor of the Colony
and Estrangeros. and has put Loco Ernandes out, he sayes if you
can onley send two more from Texas he will show them a thing or
two; I will stay untill after the fare as it will comencé to morrow
and then it is very probable I will go down to Matamoras with some
of [the] strange[r]s over hear to the fair, most likley with Mr.
Dibblee or Mr Coldwell I have got but about 8 or 10 Dollars,
and Huetson hasent got a sent to lend me he says, but I must do the
best I can I wanted to buy a saddle and rigging but I havent got the
money their fore I must do with out. Huetson talks of going on to
the Colony but I would go by myself before I would go with him he
has made a compleate brute of himself. I have got your papers
safe I have been obliged to go indet for a leather trunk to Mr
Coldwell he sayes he will be very apt to go through the Colony on
his return to New Yorke and then I can settle with him. nothing
more at present but I am in hopes I will see you in the course of a
month or two give my respects to Mr. and Mrs. Williams and Mr
Hunter and give my love to all the family and tell them they will
see me in course of 2 months at furtherest if I have health I have
no preasants for them because I have no money to get them with I
have scarce enough money to carry me to Matamoros.
Most Respectfully
Your nephew
