I have not seen Capt Conway this week and judging from what he told me at our last intervew I think it doubtfull about his sending Troops to the river again until he gits an order from Gen Reynolds. but he will likely git the or- der by next Tuesdays Mail. as he told Me he had writen on the subject so it is likely he will send out the coming week. I have found out a goodeal about the Indians on the other side of the- River sence I saw you all of which I will transmit in due time. Also about the Beef stealing a good portion of which is done by Men who were formerly citizens of this place though I dare not say anything at present but I believe in a short time the thing will work its self out I shall probably be out at Eagle Pass next week will Start after the Mail comes in if I can doe anything for you out there write by next mail

Yours Respectfuly JAS H. TAYLOR
