Verbatim (personal): congratulates Arrillaga on reaching 'su Aranjuez' (Loreto?); THE ENGLISH SHIPS SAILED FOR EUROPE ON THE 4TH (Vancouver's final departure); Monterey mails leave the 3rd and 5th of each month; SENDS THE PLAN OF FUERTE S.N JOAQUÍN (condestable + carpenter arrived the day before); a work finished but Pérez has not remitted accounts; will see Alava about something inexpensive at Monterey ('no servira mas q.e p.a resguardar los buques q.e haya en el fondeadero'); both 'el finado Cuadra' and Fidalgo agree with him on the San Diego site, differing only in raising the ground against storm wash. Direct precursor of d197 (Punta de Guijarros); prime coastal-defense material; fixes Quadra as deceased.
