[February 1, 1834?]

Dear Chapman

Colonel Austin gave me a draft on Dr. Grant for 200$ drawn by Mr. Parrot payable in Saltillo, as Colonel A was arrested he requested the money to be put in Monterey Dr. G. sent the money there but it could not arrive before Colonel A left. He is now on his way to Mexico and wants the money, in his present situation if you can give it to him he will give you an order to receive the same Sum in Monterey

[Dr.] Grant and myself will feel obliged if you can confer this favor.

I write this because Rolan is [go]ne to Parras
