'Preceptos Generales' — Arrillaga's general instructions after his first year as governor. Each commander responsible for the pueblo entrusted to him: peace/harmony, a disciplined company, Indians 'dóciles y subordinados' (prevent fugitives), due regard for invalids/retirees/vecinos; escort sizes 3–6 soldiers; pacify Indians by few visits → 'conquista ó reducción'; peace & harmony with the missionaries (extinguish the 'notorias etiquetas'). Ends with a foreign-trade prohibition — notes maize was sold at the ensenada of San José del Cabo (bought in Alta Cal.) and mares taken to the Sandwich Islands from this coast; 'muchas personas caracterizadas' involved. Registered at the presidios 1807.
