Notes

  • -  Céspedes, captain of a company of infantry, is given command of the soldiers and sailors of the ship Nuestra Señora de los Remedios. The supply ship had not arrived, and the presidio was in need, not having enough flour for hosts to celebrate Mass. The sentinel of Matanzas had reported a ship which seemed to be trying to reach San Agustín. The governor had sent out the alférez Juan de la Vera with soldiers to see if the ship could be found along the coast. Céspedes is to proceed along the coast to see if he can find the supply ship, in case it needs help; if he cannot find it, he is to go on to Havana by the safest route and try to get the necessary supplies.
