General
Manuel Echeverría,
San Albino,
Colonel Irías met the enemy at Murra and one of
the boys came with a small scratch and said that
the Colonel went to place another ambush further
ahead because the Machos came out happy, I
believe that on finding out that the boys were
on the hills, they must have tried to take the
hills, and the boys must have gotten scared and
disoccupied the heights. It must have been
Quintero, and I believe he can do something
unless the Yankees have gone to Ciudad Sandino.
There are eighteen Constabularies and the
Colonel has twenty, but I believe that the
position which they tried to take was occupied
by only five. Estrada is here and I sent him
fifty men with two machine-guns because the
other gunner already arrived. I want you to be
the chief of this patrol for your greater
success, and I will send Don Coronado who is
there organizing, and if I can't send him I will
send another one, but it must be right away.
