Heading: “Negacion de cierto maiz por un sacerdote.” Transcribes his own letter to P. Caballer: “Con f.ha 8 del corr.te me avisa el cabo Villa que V.R. les rehusa la racion del maiz, y solo se allana á darles de trigo; y como este es mas caro y de menos porcion, les resulta gravámen en esto y en el mayor trabajo de sus familias: cuyas razones supongo pesará V.R. y tendrá á bien darles la que apetecen, y les es mas útil - Monterey 21 de Abril de 1788” [= friar Caballer refuses the soldiers the maize ration, offering only wheat, dearer and less in quantity, burdening their families].
