Underlined heading “Precauciones p.a mantener los Indios en respecto y en paz.” Despite the padre presidente asking that small troop detachments be allowed to frequent the rancherías, Borica quotes himself: “[no] me he resuelto á ello, por considerar q.e la tranquilidad q.e ha disfrutado y disfruta esta Prov.a se debe atribuir á la maxima gral q.e han seguido los goborn.s mis antecesores, en no permitir q.e pequeñas partidas de tropa frequenten las rancherias, p.a no dar lugar á que los Indios las atropellen y aprendan á matar soldados.” He notes gobernador Neve already issued this providencia and concludes: “Seria dura suerte el exponer el sosiego y la paz de la prov.a en manos de un cabo ó soldado q.e regularm.te no piensa sino en salir del dia.” The word no is interlineated above the opening of the quotation.
