ALS signed “G. B. Erath,” one page both sides, 8 x 10, April 10, 1843. Letter to Michael Reed. In full: “By this opportunity I can inform you that I made for you last year the survey of John Rector one league and labor and partly made the survey of one labor adjoining but cannot return it unless at present, but the league and labor has been returned last year, before the land office closed and having no chance to send you the notice it lay so. I am at present very needy of every thing and like very much to get my fees which is thirty dollars for the league and labor not charging yet the separate labor, having to hunt several days for the old lines. I think It very reasonable and offer to take it in cattle or any stock delivered in this County and if I could see you about court I probably could make some arrangement with you if you could settle it with Wllm. Thomson and Hobby at Nashville it would suit me—send me an answer or come over.” Second integral page bears an address panel in Erath’s hand to Reed in Brasos County, Texas, “by the favor of some gentleman going to Brystly Court.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered toning, including a block over most of signature, and some scattered small areas of paper loss to second integral page. The Robert Davis Collection.
