New accusations against Vaamonde are raised in a confidential frontier, gambling. Anonymous vecinos of Monterrey ratify these charges and Argue that all the evidence Vaamonde presented in his favour (ff.7-38) was written by people who owed him money as a result of gambling. The viceroy warns Vaamonde that unless he presents satisfactory explanation, he will be removed from his post. He also urges Vaamonde to go to Punta de Lampazos and take care of the military company personally. In his reply, Vaamonde reviews the law in force regarding the place where officers must reside and describes the arms he needs to equip the company in his charge. (A. Nielsen, September 1989)
