It is expected that our troops will get possession of the Cities of Granada & Leon, situated on the Lake; but our force, I'm afraid, is too inconsiderable to secure any lasting settlement. The attempt perhaps may attract the attention of the Spaniards, who are particularly jealous in guarding against encroachments into South America....If we could once turn the course of the war from being merely defencive on our side, we shall yet do well."
