Documents out of sequence; begin with Varela requesting funds for compania's return to Chihuahua, request granted, Varela ordered to turn money over to 'habilitado' of compania. Documents from earlier in year concern compania's receipt of some 108 Apache men and women of all ages (numbers vary); 'estado' included lists age, sex of 'piezas de Apache,' daily amount of 'reales' allotted to each; sargento comments that Apaches from New Mexico might join group. Sargento becomes gravely ill, Varela and Sartorio placed in charge. Bulk of expediente includes oficios from ranch owners and merchants in towns indicating receipt of payment for goods sold to compania, such as 'fresadas,' meat, corn, firewood, 'toros, Bueyes, Mulas,' and 'semitas.' Chavero, a rancher, sells compania 40 Mulas. 'relacion' of number of Apaches added to 'collera' along way, number who died or were too ill to continue; request fulfilled to bury several 'parbulos Apaches' in Chihuahua cemetery; gentile Apache buried in 'campo'; fray relays that dying Apache woman requests baptism. Returning to time period of beginning of expediente, virrey reviews compania finances and finds everything in order, except 'juramento' of officers involved missing. (L. Kerr, April 1989)
