These papers will be left at your house, but here I must trust entirely to your wit and judgment as to the way in which they should be delivered to my agent at the nearest Mexican port.

To facilitate your action, your husband will receive directions to pursue his course as far south as Todos Santos, where a boat will be ready to take charge of them when he is sighted.

I know I am asking a great favor, but I have such confidence in you that I do not even ask you to commit yourself to a reply to this.

If it can be done I know that you will do it; if it cannot, I will understand and appreciate the reason why.

I will only ask you that when you are ready to receive the papers you will fly a small red pennant from the little flagstaff among the rocks.
