VERBATIM HEADING: 'Setᵉ 26. (2 Docs) - pp. 296-8.' (a second document entered under the same 1793 heading block on this leaf, no separate addressee line). GLOSS: Arrillaga to the Viceroy of Mexico, Monterey, 26 Sept 1793, two items. SUBSTANCE, verbatim: (1) 'Pide qe. se dote cada Presidio con un padre, pues la misa y plática doctrinal de los Domingos, no las pueden dar algunas veces los de las Misiones, principalm.te en tiempo de aguas.' (2) 'Que las Misiones no tienen señalados límites, escepto las de Sn. Gabriel y Sta. Clara pr. el rumbo qe. se avecindan, la 1ª con el pueblo de los Angeles, y la 2ª con Sn. José; qe. prosperan tanto, qe. los ganados, á pesar de qe. se procura contener su aumento, no se consigue: pide permiso pª. conceder' [leaf ends; continues on corner 118, BookReader n117] 'terrenos y dice qe. creé acreedores de los mejores á los Indios.' SIGNIFICANCE: an explicit 1793 statement that the missions had no surveyed limits except where San Gabriel abutted Los Angeles and Santa Clara abutted San Jose, coupled with a request for authority to grant land in which Arrillaga says he considers the Indians entitled to the best of it. Directly relevant to the land-tenure and Californio-repertoire threads. [corner: item 2 finishes on corner 118, BookReader n117]
