Martin de Garay received the following from Wellington on July 3, 
1809  "...I have the pleasure to inform your Excellency, that the 
advanced guard passed the frontier this day; the army will follow 
to-morrow and  the following days; and no time shall be lost in 
placing ourselves in communication with General Cuesta. I shall be 
much concerned if, in the intermediate time,  the enemy should fall 
with his whole concentrated force on General Cuesta or  General 
Vanegas. But as both these Generals are aware of the superiority of 
the  enemy's strength, and the former, in particular, is aware of my 
near approach  to him, I conclude that each of them will have placed 
themselves in such a  situation, as that the misfortune which your 
Excellency apprehends cannot  occur. I have the honor to be, &c. ' 
ARTHUR WELLESLEY."
