Inspection report. 7 months since taking possession at Loreto, 4 spent travelling to Monterey; visited 10 Dominican and (n359) 9 Fernandino missions. Rules settled with the P. Presidente: 'el buen trato qe se ha de dar a los Indios, el trabajo proporcionado en qe se han de emplear; qe las piezas en qe de noche se recojan las Indias solteras y jovenes... sean ventiladas pa evitar el qe les entre la corrupcion' [good treatment, proportioned labour, ventilating the night lock-ups for single/young Indian women]; no transplanting Indians from healthy to unhealthy missions; caminos reales kept up with Indian labour; no large church/rancheria/stone padres' houses without notice to the Gobierno, since missions 'han sacrificado a los Indios con esta clase de obras de lujo'. n359 adds: the 5 presidial habilitados to buy jabon, fresadas, jerga and cuereria in the province instead of from S. Blas and Mexico; vecinos to make soap and hides; hemp planting because 'la pita usual no sirve'; schoolmasters (one already at the pueblo de españoles de S. Jose); mission escoltas to be inspected every two months.
