| Summary: | This is a letter to the Honorable William Fitzgerald from J.R. Hawkins, dated September 10, 1846. Hawkins writes about General Taylor moving his troops to take over Monterey. Hawkins believes that there will be more fighting than expected and that the troops from Tennessee will be too sick to fight properly. He describes the Rivers Rio Grand and San Juan.
