Heading “Carestia de efectos pa. los pobladores.” Proposes settlers be sent the goods they need at 19% over value (including the 4% for packing and freight), paying in the silver they get from selling seed, stock and country produce to the presidios and ships. Quoted: “Aun resultando 19% de recargo á los efectos tendria mucha cuenta é estos infelices el q.e se les surtiese asi de lo que necesitan, porque pasa hoy aun de un 50 el q.e su[b]en los q.e compran á los individuos de los buques q.e vienen de S.n Blas - y esto no proveyendose de los articulos q.e necesitan sino de los q.e traen buenos ó malos - de uso corr.te o de lujo - ó de licores q.e es lo peor”. Asks it be attended to “por caridad”.
