One of the mules mentioned in my list got away last night and I suppose has run back to Santa Fee where I purchased it.still the complement of 14 in all is made up by the arrangement with Mr Boggs.It just occurs to me to mention that a thousand saddle tacks will be wanting which please to add to the list. I am very respectfully Copy Y. mo. obt. svt G C SibleySan Fernando 16th Feby. 1826To Messrs B H Reeves &Thomas Mather EsqsCommissioners &cGentlemenI beg leave to introduce to you Mr Paul Ballio to whom I am under obligations for his assistance on many occasions since I came here. If Mr Ballio should conclude to take one of the two waggons No 4 or 6 as I mentioned he probably would in another letter to you, and you and he can agree as to the price; I have arranged with him to pay for it here, so that you may charge the price of the waggon to my account. I have a settlement to make here with Mr Ballio for corn already received from him, and for wheat bargained for to make flower for our journey.The waggon will therefore be charged to that account. Wm. S. Williams has given Mr Ballio an order on me for $58; and Jno. S. Davis another for $70 on acct of their wages, and I have drawn this day on Tracy and Wahrendorff for $128 (the amt. of these two orders) favr. of Mr Ballio payable at ten days sight Be pleased to direct the dft. to be paid and charge it to Williams & Davis as above stated. respectfullyCopy Y. mo. obt svt G C Sibley
