done. No treaty at present will be

entered into. So Mr Webster informed me

on Saturday. Do then leave a letter giving

me leave of absence sent to the Consuls

at Orleans for me. You promised me to

be with you & there may be need of

personal friends.

Genl Waddy Thompson goes

out as Mr Tyler informed me in

the Frigate Macedonia, who would

cruise from Vera Cruz to Galveston and

await his orders. He will demand the

instant & immediate release of the Ameri-

can Santa Fe prisoners[.] The Government

here are desirous to get a blow at Mexico[.]

They will seek the opportunity you may

depend.

We [?] both desire to be remembered

to yourself and lady. T[r]usting to your

valor[,] judgment & patriotism we have

the strongest confidence in the success

of the Texan arms.

May God prosper you & yours

James Reily
