On California mail administration: a sub-principal office could only be at Loreto, since 'en esta California no hay pueblo de gente de razón.' Notes the death of Alférez José Mª Estrada (3 Dec [1791]), keeper of the estafeta; the presidio captain to protect the mail revenue meanwhile; the arrears of the Sta Bárbara estafeta (1783–88) to be covered by a Goycoechea libranza. Orig. pp.2–3.
