«Participa que las ovras del Presidio se hallan de dos varas y media de altura en el lienso de la Iglesia y medio lienzo por los dos lados, y aunque no tiene maestro, piensa concluir los tres lienzos de muralla que le parece ser bueno hacerla de cajon, y á dispuesto mandar tomar cal para la mezcla.» Santa Barbara presidio works: the church curtain-wall stands 2½ varas high plus half a curtain on each side; lacking a master mason he means to finish the three curtains of wall, thinks rammed-earth «de cajon» best, and has ordered lime taken for the mortar. Precise construction-progress datum for the Santa Barbara presidio quadrangle.
