Mr Samuel M. Williams
Furnish the troops of Lieut. Col. Ugartechea two wagons and
provisions to last to La Bahia and two hundred dollars in cash. I
have recd, here two hundred dollars [more?] and will take them
up with me—make contracts for the waggons etc so as to get the
proper vouchers. The provisions can be got in part on the road,
some on Colorado and some on Navidad.

The waggons are needed to La Bahia—it probably will be the
better plan to get them as far as Guadalupe, and have them re-
placed there by others for La Bahia—or perhaps some may [be]
had on Navidad or La Bahia, All this can be done by writing to
James Kerr, or some others.
S. F. Austin [Rubric]
Also furnish a horse for Lieut. Manuel Pintado to [co]me to
this place—and Bagages for the officers to go to La Bahia.
