The Spaniard Escovedo who says he owes you two horses has stored
up his things at my house, and in order that you may have no fears
that he will leave here without paying you for the horses he has
requested me to say to you that if you will send me his obligation he
will pay it before his goods are taken away, and I will not allow
him to move them untill it is paid— he has sent for the balance of
his things
