IUGARTECHEA lo COS]
Bexas, May 1, 18;35. Yesterday the corporals returned, whom, as I have Lold you, I sent lo Brazoria ancl Anahuac; and since there is nothing new except what I have Lold you and whal you must have learned from the copies of the correspondence of Caplain Tenorio, I will not send this by an extraordinary (express), but by the regular military post which starts lo-day for Matamoras. The officio which goes with this confirms and corroborates what I have told you of the critical situation in which Tenorio finds himself; and although he says in it that he has sent a Lieutenant, Don Carlos Ocampo, to let me know, and to solicit aid, to this day I have not seen him. The corporal who went lo Brazoria brought the newspapers which I send you and the leLLers which accompany them. With the translations, 1 send also the originals.
