[Dues?] for your extreme favor
under date of 30th ultimo by the [Am?] Capt [Hand?]
has been received. That vessal with almost all the
rest has been wrecked coming in it is said
she ran on anchor which caused her to fill at
once. of course all that could damage [cargo?]
damaged except a few trunks of clothing [and?]
some coffee.

When the [Am?.] arrived
your man Turner was here, sent over [by?]
Doctor Patrick for the $300 and drew for two
hundred more. I sent them four hundred and made
arrangements for the other hundred. I also sent
the letter to Richardson.

We are informed by last
mail that Austin is still held in Mexico on
bail and that the law of [Genl?] [uprise?] has not
passed. This is an order come to the political
chief to suspend the operation of Mr. Robertson
as Empressario and for the chief to Examine
the whole affair and to report to the Govt
Thus you see that colony is shut up for the
present.

The collector was about to ship
to Galveston and told me he would take up
his residence at Anahuac.
