72 26th Visited the springs or head waters of the San Antonio river three to four miles distant from the town. The numberless springs form three or four principal streams which soom unite and form this pretty river. The waters issue from the springs with considerable force out of the lime stone rock & are somewhat tepid. All around the springs is a thick & almost impenitable underood, with lays timbers of all sorts on the branches of which saw flocks of wild turkey, called by the Mexicans Gujalotes. When peace with the Mexicans & Comanches shall have been made these springs will be a most excellent spot for Barbacues or Pic-niks.

 On our return to town found Major Howard the Sheriff & thus starting in pursuit of Comanches. A young Mexican had just come in wounded in the leg and reported that a few miles down the river he had been shot by Comanches. During the day we discovered that the said youth was very much in love with Dona __ __ and had been ?itering too much of his time in the opinion of his Father upon his young beautiful mistress.
