on the Medina and Atascosa prohibiting them from taking any
beeves or any other supplies to Bexar or having any communica-
tion with that place.
Travis was to have stayed at Salinas rancho on Atascosa last
night. You will inquire for him and incorporate his party with
yours. Since writing the above I have additional information
that the guard of the Convoy is 200, and the Convicts, 300, your
force will therefore consist of 150 men.
