UTSA James Morgan Papers

Norfolk 26th Aug. 1835

Mr. Young,Sir

I noticed in the "Palladium & Republican" of Aug 22d. ^ a notice addressed to mechanics and laborers- offering proposals for an imigration to Texas, and referring to you for information. I am a mechanic - a carpenter and joiner - and if the terms are acceptable should like to visit Texas. As for Morality & industry. I have so far kept clear of the Jail & workhouse. I do not think it worth while of offer any references untill I know the terms of ingagement. An immedi ate answer is solicited.

Yours Respectfily, Lewis Barlow
