ARRILLAGA, ROA, AND THE PRESIDIAL ACCOUNTS. Reports Arrillaga spent six months of 1796 some 350 leagues from Loreto on reconnaissances by superior order, and that his substitute Roa is “muy ignorante en papeles”. Verbatim: “‘para arreglar las satisfacciones á los juicios de las de 81 h.ta el 92 han tenido q.e concurrir en este pres.o el com.dte de S.n Fr.co D.n Jose de Arguello, y los oficiales retirados D.n Jose de Ortega y D.n Ramon Laso y despues de mas de dos meses de trabajo continuo las despacho, faltando unicam.te las de S.n Diego p.r q.e el habilitado q.e fue en d.ho tiempo se halla actualm.te de capitan del pres.o de Tucson, adonde le dirijí los juicios sin perdida de instancia, y aun no he tenido contestacion.’” Argüello is also settling the royal treasury accounts of the four presidios for 1796; Borica begs the viceroy to relieve the officers of these commissions and name administrators before the confusion becomes impossible to unravel [continues on n409].
