[and] little Billy with another little squire as a companion in good health and spirits along with all other relatives and friends.  ++  'I am happy to hear of your arrival, hoping that you will have an amicable drawing up of the establishment Accts. and clear up any former doubts and reflections that may have arisen from little or no foundation; and have not the least doubt, but Mr. Begg and yourself will make a future relationship and continue the specn. in California which I think well of.'  ++  Of his own affairs, Logan reports that mining problems in the Andes, which he lacks the experience and knowledge to solve, have forced him into the decision to resign from his present situation, and he has not made up his mind about the future.  He expects to see Hartnell soon in Lima; and of all his California companions, Logan most anxiously inquires after "our old cowled friends. . . . .and in particular how P. Jose Maria Zalvidea, Sanchez, Peyree, and Ripoll are holding out."  He has heard rumors of the persecution of Spaniards and hopes they are unfounded.  In conclusion he asks: "How does our best friends Cot and Mancisidor pass their time?  Do once more think of an old servant and friend and communicate some news to him respecting the different changes you have had since I left."  +++
