Letters of Antonio Martinez
powder and balls, I need only say to you that I have only 27,000
cartridges for supplying the parties that must be continually sent
out against the Indians as well as to perform other necessary
duties, for, although I have a box of powder, it is useless and
can be of no help whatever.
I know the many duties that your Lordship must, at this time,
perform. I also know the lack of money you are experiencing.
However, the situation this province is in does not permit me to
remain silent regarding the things I have petitioned your Ex-
cellency for. In spite of the great needs that are mentioned, the
things I have cited do not permit the least possible delay. I am,
therefore, awaiting such measures as your Lordship may be
pleased to take.

MARTINEZ TO THE COMMANDANT GENERAL
No. 9
When the special messenger was on the point of starting with
the enclosed sealed paper, I received your Excellency's letter of
the 28th of last month written from "Cinco Sefiores" which con-
tained the circular you sent me. Informed of what you wrote
me, I cannot fail to report that I will send to Bahia the aid re-
quested in the aforesaid paper as soon as possible.
