Departmental State Papers, tomo III · BANC MSS C-A 28, document 115

Transcribes Capt. Portilla's 9-Feb warning of an alleged Indian mobilization: the neophytes of Missions San Diego (rebellious), San Luis Rey, San Juan Capistrano & San Gabriel planned to gather to demand distribution of their lands & goods, proclaim Echeandía as Comandante General, and reject Figueroa — though Valle reports San Gabriel calm and downplays an 'imagined' sublevación. ⭐ Indian political agency + secularization/land + the succession [cited: Sav p.90]
