Soler's presidio-inspection report ('Informe sobre la atención, Policía y Gobierno') — a ~40-numbered-point reform memorandum (the report Fages answers in Doc 3): *situado* arrears, moving the Loreto company to San Diego, mission-supply replacing San Blas imports, freeing the troops from cattle-*faenas*, citing Felipe de Neve's prior policies; and — pts 21–34 — a mission/Indian-policy argument that anticipates the 1795 Villa de Branciforte plan: keep the Indian past his *neofito* stage 'á usar de la racionalidad… una vida racional,' settle him 'con bienes y tierras propias que hereden sus sucesores,' free the escorts, garrison the coast against 'las reales Armadas' but at a cost 'que el erario había de sentir' (indefensibility). → E1; cross-links C-A 7 E26/E27.
