Verbatim heading: '+ 1804 = Noviembre 22 = Loreto. / Gob.r a Virrey; Sobre fundacion de Santa Ynes.' [= on the founding of Santa Ines]. Savage abstract, verbatim: 'Que en 17 de Sbre ultimo se fundo St.a Ynes; q.e paraje donde se ha fundado presta comodidad p.a saca de agua p.a siembras; que esta procsima a rancherias del Nordeste y se halla situada entre Mis.n de Purisima Concepcion y Pres.o de St.a Barbara; q.e se bautisaron 12 parbulos q.e presentaron los gentiles voluntariamente, y 15 ninas; y a mas 15 gentiles adultos entre ellos 3 Capitanes para q.e se les instruyera en Doctrina Cristiana; q.e escolta se compone de 8 soldados y un Sargento.' [Mission Santa Ines was founded on 17 September last; the site affords convenience for drawing water for plantings; it is close to rancherias of the northeast and lies between Mission Purisima Concepcion and the Presidio of Santa Barbara; 12 infants voluntarily presented by the gentiles were baptised, and 15 girls; and besides 15 adult gentiles among them 3 captains, to be instructed in Christian doctrine; the escort is 8 soldiers and a sergeant.] This is the governor’s founding report for the mission. NOTE: no page cite is written on the leaf for this document; pp. 164-65 is my inference from the flanking register lines, not something I read.
