I trust, that, ere long I shall be further

enlightened by your additional instructions

rendered now not only very desirable

but almost absolutely necessary, and

Especially, if you have adopted the views

communicated by Gen H. to M^r Pakenham

as regards an armistice until April 1841

conditioned that this Govm^t meantime

agree to negotiate a peace Recognition and

boundaries. Pray my dear Sir, give

me your further and full views and

wishes, when you send my credentials,

or if not done already, immediately on

receipt of this. I have not had the

full conversation promised myself with M^r Pakenham but shall

next week, and will then report the

results. I have not received a Texan

newspaper or letter since My arrival here.

I am most anxiously awaiting some

arrival [arriving] from N. Orleans at Vera Crus [Cruz]-

which I am sure must bring me some

thing from you. I hope my request

about funds will have met your sanc-

tion, and that I shall soon be so apprised[.]

I remain with great Respect, and

consideration,

Your obedient Servant

James Treat
