Tenoxtitlan 10th March 1834

R. M. Williamson Esq

D. Sir I received yours of the 9th Ult. and avail my self of this opputunity, to write you in answer. I arrived in this place yesterday All in good health. Nothing important in my last tour in the Upper Country.

I shall leave hear as soon as I can get some supplies from the lower country—-I can be found on the yegua or its waters.

Mr. Moore will give you a plot of the much desired single league. I have trayersed Willis Creek and Vally some twenty or thirty miles. Land good but a scarcity of Timber.

Hoxeys 10 league tract on San Gabriel is not as I could have wished it, the survey takes but little of the River, your Creek runs diagonally through it, the cutting off six leagues has made the tract much less valuable than it would have been, however it is such an error as might have been made by much closer observers than either you or I.

Your friend Doct. Pollard can be accommodated, either in the Brazos or San Andres as he may wish, Mr. Moore will give you or the Doctor such information as we are in possession of, from which you must determine.

I find the Robinson fever raging in this peaceful land, and am informed that it is raging below in a way calculated to alarm the fears of every well wisher of peace and harmony. Is Texas like Mexico destined to commotions and Civil Wars? I hope not, but fear the result of this damnable contagious poisen emitted throughout the Land by Robinson and his sattelites.

Some efficient measures must be taken to check this mad-man, or means used to quiet the minds of a deluded and distracted people, otherwise confusion and probably its attendant (Blood-shed) must be the result. The cole when properly kindeled may burst out in a flame that will consume Texas.

Much preparation and big talk at this place by the party, I have not yet seen or had any conversation with them but will in a short time.

Give me all the news you have, I have been where I could hear nothing and here what I get is worse than nothing. I am sometimes ready to say that I will turn Hermit, live with the Indians or quit this Hole of Confusion.

Present my respects to all the boys and accept the same for yourself.
