Gloss: private letter from the Los Angeles alcalde to Figueroa on horse thefts by New Mexican adventurers. Substance, Savage giving the opening in Spanish then paraphrasing in English: 'Le informa que varios individuos procedtes. de N. Mex. llegados con caracter de comerciantes, han estado cometiendo, de 3 meses aca, robos de Caballos y mulas cuyo numo. puede prudentemte. calcularse en 1000 bestias, la mayor parte mulas, y que las han ido estrayendo de este Territorio. Si no se les pone coto pronto se llevaran cuanto hay en el pais.' He then recommends that the Gefe Politico of New Mexico be requested to demand that every merchant coming from his territory provide himself with a regular passport but with evidence of good character, so as to guard as far as possible against the introduction of so many people who without occupation or visible means of living are gathering in Upper California to prey upon society; reports measures adopted by the Ayuntamiento and citizens to fall upon this crowd of adventurers who are assembled in the Tulares valley together with the Indians of that region; and requests the government send an expedition to cut off the retreat of the horse thieves.
