Heading verbatim: '+ 1794 - Nov.e 13 - Mont. / Borica a Mylord Fox. (sic)' Body verbatim: 'Le da cuenta de su llegada a la Capital, 'donde la pasan alegremente con la Comp.a de los Ingleses, su paisano Alaba y el Cap.n de Frag.a Fidalgo, q.e es un bello mozo.' Que el temperam.to es sano, mas frio q.e templado; 'hay q.e comer, pero lo q.e espanta es la fecundidad gral. en racionales e irracionales'. Que Bonilla sera siempre martir: lo necesitara todo Virrey.' pp. 537-8. GLOSS: Borica reports his arrival at Monterey, where they pass the time merrily in the company of the English, of his countryman Alava, and of the frigate captain Fidalgo; the climate is healthy, more cold than temperate; there is food, but what astonishes is the general fecundity in rational and irrational creatures alike. The '(sic)' is Savage own. The same correspondent is identified on scan n227 as 'Manuel Merino. (a) Milord Fox.'
