New York, March 26— 1835

My Dear Sir

On receiving your letters dated Mexico Jany 25— 1835 Immediately wrote to Mr. Forsythe asking what had been presented to the president or to himself relative to your affairs? I have just recd. an answer the President has not had anything said to him in any way injurious to you— I believe that you may be assured that it would be felt here if any gross injustice should be done you— Keep me informed with all expedition of your condition and I will instantly act to the utmost extent of my power in your behalf.

My family remember you with affection—

H. Meigs

Col. Stephen F Austin
