Montiano impresses Guemes with his affection and zeal toward the king
From COLLECTIONS OF THE Georgia Historical Society, Vol. VII.
THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CUBA APPOINTS THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA COMMANDER OF THE EXPEDITION AGAINST GEORGIA, AND ISSUES HIS ORDERS FOR THE CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS.
1742-6-2 Guemes to Montiano
In consequence of this and of the faculty he has bestowed upon me, to select as the commanding officer of this expedition, one who possesses the requisite character and qualities, I am led to designate you as the Commanding General of all these forces, as much by the confidence I have in your fitness and experience as because of the knowledge which you possess of those places. I am also guided by your affection for His Majesty and your zeal for his service, as shown in your letter of the 3rd of March of the present year.
