User-Contributed Transcription Fayette Mo. Nov 5 1826To Thomas Mather EsqrU. S. Commisr &c.SirIn a former communication to you I mentiond the arrival of Mr Sibley, at Ft Osage, & that he expressd an opinion that the Comrs. of the Mexican Road should have an early meeting. Since which time I have recd a letter from him proposeing a meeting to take place on the 22d Inst at the City of St Louis to which I have replied by "begging leave to convene the board of commissioners on Monday the 4th day of December next at the City of Jefferson, the present seat of Government for this state" at which time and place I hope it will suit your convenience to attend. Mr Brown, our surveyor will necessarily have to attend there at that time in discharge of his senatorial duties. In fact the general assembly of this state will convene on the 20th Inst.I have the honour to be with great considerationYr mo obdt servtB H Reeves
