Navasota Grimes County Sunday Oct 3 / 63
My dear sir,
At this point I take the R. Road to Houston tomorrow when I will arrive at 2 P.M. I called to-day to see the Demarests. Edgar [has gone] to the [Martins?] camp. Felix is residing on his Bottom place as it is called. His brother Dr. Foster & his Mother-in-law Mrs. Demarest, live at his [town?] place. I saw only Doctor Foster. Your Daughter Mrs. Leigh has been spending some days with [Edgar?] D*_* & left his house only [illegible] days ago to go to her [negroes who] are encamped in Falls County. From what I could learn she has not made any arrangements with regard to her nigs. She has not sold any of them, write to her at Martin Falls County Texas.
In haste, W. F. Weeks
