I'm goin' this afternoon to see an old friend--Joe Benavides--and have him make all arrangements and be all ready to start whenever we get back, without any delay.

I won't take the sheriff, because we might have negotiations to transact that would be highly indecorous in a sheriff.
But he's to share my share, because he put up a lot more money for the mine to-day.

I sent it on to Yuma, where an old friend of mine and the sheriff's is to buy a six-horse load of supplies and carry 'em down to join us, startin' when I telegraph him.
"Got it all worked out.

You do as I tell you and you'll wear diamonds on your stripes.

Give me a note for that girl of yours, too.".
