Of first importance. Subject “Miseria de los pobladores de S.n José y los Ang.s”. He had proposed to Branciforte a 6,000-peso memoria of goods to be sold for cash by the Monterey habilitado “a los infelices vecinos de los pueblos de S.n José y... los Ang.s como medio unico por ahora p.a q.e puedan cubrir sus carnes”; no answer came, so he repeats it. Lacking merchants “se ven estas tristes familias en la alternativa de estar casi desnudas o de comprar los q.e traen las tripulac.s de los buques a unos precios tan excesivos q.e el q.e menos es de un 50% sobre los g.rales de Mex.o”; all the settlers “se hallan disconsoladisimos con la escasez de generos”.
