Col. Cooke who was principal Commissioner tells me that - he ordered that Waggons should not be sent - in case of a difficulty. Gl. Lamar hoped during his Administration that with the few that he ultimately permitted to go, could have been able to have revolutionized Santa Fe in favor of Texas & then had a direct trade - Poes jucio haber en asto - And as Texas claims the Rio Grande as its boundary, he fondly hoped to have had it soon enrolled as a Texan Ag?

 But their would have been difficulty with the U.S. Traders, for had it succeeded, it must have curlacted? their trade - But a much better trade awaits the Texans - Viz the Rio Grande & onwards to Chihuahua.
