*Petición al Rey* (see expanded entry) — service record (22 yr 6 mo; 16 yr as Loreto captain); champions back-pay for the founding-generation veterans who discovered San Diego & Monterey; recounts liquidating the five presidios' accounts 1781–1792 (traversing all Baja Calif.); during his interim governorship a mission was founded; his summer-1796 land reconnaissance founded Mission Santa Catalina Mártir and he was attacked three times by the Colorado rancherías (killed only 5 'though he could have killed many more'); asks to be considered for the proprietary governorship should Borica's illness vacate it. Borica's signed marginal endorsement certifies all of it
