Frémont later wrote, "I found that her object was to use her influence to put an end to the war, and to do so upon such just and friendly terms of compromise as would make the peace acceptable and enduring... She wished me to take into my mind this plan of settlement, to which she would influence her people; meantime, she urged me to hold my hand, so far as possible... I assured her I would bear her wishes in mind when the occasion came." The next day, Bernarda accompanied Frémont as he continued the march south.
