Distribution of 50 escopetas. 'Para distribuir las 50 escopetas que ha recibido Vm, es necesario que al valor de primer compra se les recargue á prorata el costo del flete'; Ortega is to uniform the whole company with these arms so far as possible, collecting in the weapons each individual now holds, having them appraised, so that by their value 'se distribuyan á los vecinos necesitados de ellas, separando 8 ó 10 para repuesto'; any of either sort needing repair to be repaired and the cost added to the appraisal. [Company re-armed with new escopetas; the surrendered older arms sold on to needy vecinos at appraised value, 8-10 held in reserve.] Marginal mark:
