Armament collapse. Heading '+ 1809 = Mayo 31 = Monterey. / Gobr al Virrey. Sobre compostura de armas &a'. On the order of 8 de Fbro transmitting what the R.l Fral[?] set out about maestros armeros in the presidios, he is to give his views on the arbitrios proposed for repairing arms at San Blas, the price to be charged the troops, and on sending to the province convicts sentenced to presidio ultramarino who know the armorer's or smith's trade. Key phrase: 'qe Presºs de Sn Franco y Monterrey estan escasos de escopetas, pues en ochenta plazas no hay ni 15 escopetas utiles' [= in eighty men there are not even 15 serviceable muskets]; asks 50 be supplied for each presidio, particularly Monterey as the governor's residence.
