Departmental State Papers, Benicia, tomo II (Miscellaneous) · BANC MSS C-A 39, document 77

Minutes continue: ⭐⭐ debate on the Híjar commission & mission lands — the secularization commission 'estará en el país nombrada por la superioridad bajo la dirección del Sr. D. José Mª de Híjar,' which would expose 'á muchos individuos… se les adjudicasen algunos terrenos inmediatos á las misiones ó tal vez fuesen despojados de este derecho después de haber trabajado en ellos'; Diputación cannot itself carry out secularización (committed to Híjar's special commission), 'considera esta medida casi inútil'; suspend resolution on mission-land claims until the new gefe político arrives; ⭐ Carrillo's proposal to name a California agent to the national govt; rejects Fr. Lorenzo Quijas's petition per the 17 Aug 1833 secularization law ('las misiones no existen más que de hecho')
