W. B. Travis to James F Perry, 08-11-1834


Summary: Certain probate business. Slavery.


San Felipe De Austin August 11th 1834

Mr Jas. F. Perry

Dear Sir I send you a commission from the court here to take an Inventory of the property belonging to the Estate of John Randon deceased, which is in your neighborhood, and to deliver the same over to Mrs. Susan Randon guardian of the minor heirs of John Randon etc. I presume however the property has been hired for the year. If so Mrs. Randon had better let the negroes remain where they are, taking the obligation of the hirer's to deliver them and pay the hire to her on the 1st of January next.

No news from Col. Austin. Bexar will send a memorial in his favor. Almonte has also written to the same effect.
