Report on Missions, Presidios & other matters (answering instruction chapters): on arrival the missions San Juan Capistrano, Santa Clara & 'Sta Ynes'[?] [*sic* — Sta Inés not founded until 1804; likely misreading/Savage error] were founded; Santa Clara 10 leguas from SF presidio; livestock to missions (1 horse SD; 2 mules SJ Capistrano; 2 San Gabriel; 1 Carmelo; 4 mules + 2 horses Santa Clara; 3 horses + 1 mule SF); no land distribution except one volunteer soldier titled a plot at Carmelo by Rivera; *siembras* unfeasible near presidios for lack of land/water; SD troop-increase (from the reduced SJ Capistrano escort, now 19 plazas) to be suspended as the local gentilidad is unquiet; escolta strength 12 SD / 11 SJ Capistrano / 9 San Gabriel; SF received the *lienzo del Santo*, bell & ornaments for the presidio chapel; ⭐ Neve observed the conduct of the soldier Hermenegildo Sal, named SF guarda-almacén by Rivera, but couldn't judge his fidelity (he'd only handled ration distribution)
