General Austin's Order Book for Campaign of 1885.
It is ordered that no one pass the guard lines at any time without
written permission from the Commander in Chief.
It is also ordered that each company in camp be paraded at the
Sound of the trumpet morning and evening, the roll called and
the number present reported to the proper officer.
The Commander in Chief has no higher ambition than the in-
terests of the Country and the Safety and honor of the Army and
expects every officer in the line to use his influence and utmost
exertions to preserve order and regularity and to prevent shooting
without leave.

March with your detachment to seek the detachment of Captain Fan-
nin, which ought to be on [the] Atascosa or [the] Medina. At the
ranch of -Salinas or some other ranch you ought to have news of Fannin.
The object of this expedition is to discover whether it is 'certain that
reenforcements or convoy[s] are coming to the enemy. You will also
burn off the whole country from the other side of the Nueces to the
Medina on the roads from Laredo and [the] Rio Grande.
In case of taking public horses from the enemy you can keep two -of
the best for each man .of your detachment as his private property, be-
sides those which are needed for the service. Captain Fannin will give
you ten men to be joined with your detachment.
