'Manifiesta estensamte las graves nescesidades en que se encuentra la tropa por falta absoluta de víveres y vestuarios' [= sets out at length the grave want of the troops for total lack of food and clothing]; recalls his oficio of 3 January warning 'que no tiene un pedazo de Carne' and that of the 12th on 'la falta de semillas'.

Prefto para q mande á sus súbditos Religiosos dén la Contribución que por igual toca á las cuatro Misiones de esta jurisdicción' [= that the Father Prefect order his friars to render the levy falling equally on the four missions of this jurisdiction]. 'La misión de S. Luis Rey ha entregado si pro todo, en parte de lo que le corresponde desde que se le han acabado las semillas, y la de San Diego á pesar de su escasa Cosecha cuanto ha podido.' Closes: 'luego que estos escasos recursos se han consumido, se le han desertado dos, y los demas dicen que no pueden hacer sus cuartos de Centinela pr q el hambre no se los permite, ni su desnudez' [= two men have deserted and the rest say hunger and nakedness prevent them standing their sentry watches].
