spans n162-n163. 'Dice que de un momento a otro espera ser atacado por una fuerza Americana de 400 hombres, que su movimiento lo van a hacer por 3 puntos, en un mismo dia y hora' [expects attack at any moment by 400 Americans moving on three points at the same day and hour]; the enemy has '2 Buques de gra en la Paz, 2 en San Jose del Cabo, y 1 en la Ensenada de la Palma' and count on victory. He leaves the Gefe Superior Politico before San Jose del Cabo with 150 men and marches with the rest on La Paz, having only 2 paradas de cartuchos per soldier; begs powder be sent with the comisionados. Asks that the interests of the family of the American Pedro Davis be respected, and denies that the comandancia knew of the seizure of ex-jefe politico Palacios Miranda's property, for which Padre Sotomayor was called to account.
