'Reflecciones sobre los deberes de los que mandan' — FULL-TEXT paternalist governance letter (heading n311, text n312). VERBATIM: '¿No Señor; como digo de oficio cérquenle bien estas, y quítennos de pleitos! Todo un comun no ha de padecer por uno, dos ó tres particulares.' GLOSS: appeal to charity; the whole community must not suffer for one, two or three individuals; the wretched soldier busy at his tasks has no time to guard his cows; fence the gardens rather than have lawsuits; if Sgt. Ortega oversteps, warn & restrain him — 'sabré contenerle y postrarle en sus asuntos: dígaselo V. así.' Spans n311-n312.
