“Dice q.e el Ten.te C.l Arrillaga tiene grandes conocim.tos de los terrenos intermedios entre esta frontera (S.n Diego) y el Rio Colorado y sus numerosos Indios.” Arrillaga comes to reinforce the Santa Catalina escort with 6 men of the Loreto company “por la mucha indiada q.e tiene cerca y q.e esta muy ligada con la del rio Colorado.” At Santa Catalina various “Neofitos de mis.s antig.s” are at work under 1 corporal and 12 soldiers with “un cañoncito pedrero y varios saquitos de metralla”; he fears hostilities there, and “cree q.e una partida de menos de 35 hombres no podria pasar con seguridad de esta Prov.a á la de Sonora entre tanta Indiada resuelta y guerrera.” Closes: “El gob.r tiene consigo al ingeniero Alberto de Cordoba.”
