| Summary: | In the letter Lee explains his plans to travel toward Natchitoches, Louisiana, "in order to try my fortune there." He needs money before leaving, however, so he asks Caller to help him get credit so he can borrow: "I am prepared only on the solitary foundation of my Individuality - to remedy this defect, I solicit your patronage and assistance in procuring or negotiating for me a small credit in Natchez - I am convinced with two or three hundred dollars, in appropriate articles, I could begin well on Red River - my opinion of success is founded on the information of some very intelligent, decent persons, lately returning from a tour through that country."
