Early Governors' Papers

Memphis Nov. 6th 1827

Dr Sir

You will please make enquiry at the office of the Whig & Banner whether they have received a manuscript Journal of the Tennessee Caravan to [?] & if so the reason that it is not printed as I had a right to expect from the editors letter to me if he does not design it you will please call for it & forward the manuscript by the Earliest oportunity to Memphis: I have no interest=ing intelligence from our quarter more than you have possibly heard Miller & Phoebus report says [met?] in. Bolivar & the interposition of friends prevented serious consequences: public opinion appears to have received additional force in opposition to the advocate growing out of the opposition they have manifested since the Election as well as someone other reasons which are considered illiberal & personal: I have been recently warmly solicited to com =mence the publication of the Star in opposition with the promise of nearly universal patronage: but [my?] private circumstances has hitherto prevented its appearance will possible doo so untill spring: I am dear sir with sentiments of esteem yours &c
