DROUGHT, LIVESTOCK, INDIANS, A GOOD YEAR. Underlined heading: “Secas - ganados - Indios. Año bueno p.a todo.” Verbatim: “Dice q.e el año pasado, 96 en Oct. Nov. y Dic.re llovió mucho en N.a Cal.a y q.e espera una buena cosecha y q.e hay mucho pasto y se reharán de la gran perdida de ganados de los 3 años pasados - y por los Indios.” Adds that Antigua California has also had good rain but that the harvest will never suffice for Indians and vecinos because their planting lands are so small; no extraordinary sickness; and (on n406) “los Indios de mis.n no progresan; en el pueblo las gentes de razon si - y las de la Ant.a Cal no aumentan ni disminuyen” - he will make up the estados when the returns come in from the jurisdictions and missions.
