Underlined subject: “Casamiento con Indias - falta de mugeres blancas - pide se remitan unas de Mex.o.” Asks for women for “los 19 vagos de delitos leves venidos de Mex.o - y mas por los otros q.e probablem.te se recojeran, q.e sean solteras jovenes y sanas.” Quoted: “Pudiera en parte suplirse la falta de mujeres de castas con las Indias de la mision, tanto por q.e aquellas se resisten mucho a separarse de sus parientes, como p.r q.e sus P.P. M.s asentir a estas uniones como sus tutores, procuran q.e los pretendientes sean de unas costumbres muy arregladas y de estos hay pocos, me parece será muy raro el matrimonio q.e se verifique de esta naturaleza.” Asks that if sent they be outfitted “p.a medio cubrir las carnes en el caso de q.e vengan desnudas como sucedió con las q.e condujo la fragata Concepcion”: per woman a nagua de serga, rebozo corriente, jubón de lienzo, two mudas completas de manta, a pair of medios de capullo and stout country shoes; with this help they can go to church and it is avoided “q.e p.r necesidad seran malas,” meanwhile lodged among vecino and troop families to be fed in return for household work.
