Condition of the cattle drives and want of tallow. Verbatim

Provincial State Papers, tomo VII–VIII · BANC MSS C-A 4, document 398

Condition of the cattle drives and want of tallow. Verbatim: 'Dice llegan aquí muy estropeadas las partidas de ganados y que no se ha recogido ningun unto de sebo para dar entrada á la R.l Hac.da, no produciendo este ganado mas que hilachas, se ve precisado á socorrer con el que producen algunas reses que se matan de S. Luis'. Gloss: the cattle parties arrive badly broken down and no tallow has been gathered to credit the Royal Treasury, the cattle yielding nothing but shreds; he must make do with what a few beeves killed from San Luis produce.
