Nashville December 4th 1827.
Sir:
Understanding that a resolution passed to day, calling upon you for information respecting a devise of Mason Lee deceased to the State of Tennessee, I have the honor to transmit herewith, an extract from a communication made to the Legislature by me, on the 1st of November 1826, which was, I believe, accompanied by all the papers relating to the subject received previous to that time. Since that period, two letters have been received from Josiah J Evans, Esquire, the Attorney employed to attend to the interest of this State, which with copies of my answers will be found under cover.
These papers with those heretofore laid before the General Assembly will enable the Legislature to act as they may ^deem proper on the subject. It may not be improper however to remark, that the act of 1823 as I conceive, authorizes the Governor to do every thing which may be necessary to secure the interest of Tennessee.
I have the honor to be, Most respectfully, Wm Carroll
His Excellency Saml Houston, Nashville.
