Heading 'J. Rowan (No dice á quien) / In relation to the mooring of his ship'. IN ENGLISH, spans n208–n209. 'Sir - I have received your official communication containing the orders of Signor Don Diego Borica, Colonel of his Catholic Majesty's forces, and Governor of this Province of California, respecting my entering this port, for the purpose of supplying my ship with wood and water, and the necessity of immediately continuing my voyage, without touching at any other port in this Province.' Rowan pleads delay: his people spent the first day 'in mooring and securing my Ship, omitting to work on the 26th, it being a day on which I thought it would be improper, to continue that business'; will pay cash or 'give a bill for the amount' for provisions; 'The letter to Mr Kendrick is delivered according to your desire.' Signed 'Your humble Servt James Rowan.' No ship named in the letter itself.
