YOU You WILL in the way you deem most expedent, re-
turn him to his friends. All we know of him or them,
we have learned from himself. He will inform you of
the particular part of the department from which he
taken By the treaty between the United States and
Mexico that republic would be bound to refund the sum
paid for his ransom, and the expenses OF returning him

this respect 1t is thought the sending him to his parents
would have good effect upon the people of that province

governor of Chihuahua, and has written him letter
the subject of returning this captive. herewith enclose
it to YOU to be forwarded TO him.

enemy of the United States and fail duly to notify the
authorities, much wanting in duty as if they were
to withhold notice OF the approach OF armed force of

whose alleged views of duty to the United States do not
they conceive or pretend, call on them to commun
you such intelligence, to leave the limits of your
command
