Through the same source, we have information also, thal about 100 of the public cabellarda are now on the Aroyo Blanco, five miles above the road; and that Moyo is active in furnishing supplies lo the enemy, I therefore dispatched, al 8 last evening, my first Licul. with 20 men, and two of my Council, Jas. Kerr and Ira Westover, lo seize the ho~es, Moyo, and his associates, and bring them lo the fort. In momentary expectation of a reply lo mine by Padillo, I have detained your express longer than I otherwise should, thal I might acknowledge the receipt of it; but il has not arrived, and I shall nol dispatch them.

Yours Respectfully, P. Dimitt
