Having re-crossed the river about a mile brought us to the Mission of La Espada de San Francisco, it is not quite in so ruinous a state as that of San Juan; here were a few Mexican families. There are no more Missions I believe on the San Antonio river until Goliad is reached, the Mission was on the Eastern bank; the fort & town on the western & settled in 1716 but, when this country was under the old Spaniards, there were many Haciendas or large farms on the San Antonio each of which had a chapel. The old Mission of Refugio is near Copano Bay, & there was another near San Augustine. By a law of Congress of Jany 13 1841 The Alamo church, that of San Antonio, Concepcion, San José, San Juan, La Espada, Goliad, Victoria, Refugio with some portion of lands, & the church lot at Nacogdoches were ceded to the Roman Catholic congregations. Our party returned & put up for the night at San José in the sacristy where after a good supper prepared by our Mexican friends we passed the evening very pleasantly. X
3rd. Returned to San Antonio. [crossed out: rainy & unpleasant for traelling, making the roads very heavy.]
