<p>Sir I recd your communication and have duly attended to
them: From the best information I cane obtain the <persName>inhabitants </persName>
perfectly coincide with you as respects the premeditated Campaign It
is my desire that we should be as expeditious as possible and for this
assertion I have two very essential reasons 1st. If we postpone it
any length of time they may obtain information of our
contemplated attack and consequently they will be prepared either for
battle or flight 2d they will be ginelly in their <placeName>villages </placeName>about the
time we cane get in readiness to march against them which will
be about the middle of <date when="1826-05-15">May </date>I shall convene all those that
voluntier in this <persName>company </persName>on the <date when="1826-05-12">12th of May</date>. You can inform me at
what time you wish me to arrive at <placeName>San felipe Austin</placeName>, I shall be at
[all] times ready to march after the <date when="1826-05-12">12th of May</date> but it will be
more convenient to march within a few days after I convene the
<persName>men </persName>together as I shall give orders to them to come prepared for
the expedition</p>
