Smith & his companions (Jedediah Smith dossier, doc A): Smith found at Rancho San Bernardino (escort corporal & mayordomo), a sick man left behind, no verified passport → detain-if-presented order (nothing done, Smith withdrew on the 2nd). Encloses Smith's translated letter to Padre José Sánchez: he hadn't expected to return; above San Francisco friendly Indians turned, and at the 'río de los Cajones Santos' killed 8 of his men & seized the whole caballada, survivors left near-naked; the party carried 5 firearms
