Personal letter over an unexplained disaster: 'el acaecim.to tan desgraciado q.e me hubo de tocar, pero se naci desgraciado, no tengo q.e quejarme de U.S.' Sends Sargto. José Olivera to report in person 'sobre todas las partidas que han hecho', and regrets 'no se hallan cojido los agresores segun deven los Soldados que pudieron'; offers, despite his ailments, to take a partida out himself once remounted 'por si ellos se descuidan, y no nos esperan ya.' The cañoncito stayed behind awaiting another occasion.
