«Sobre entrega de la Purísima». After several trips delivery began, but «todo consiste en unos cuantos muebles inservibles, con precios exhorbitantes»; the mayordomo «se llevó á todos los baqueros á su rancho con el pretesto de recojer caballada», hides the many cattle he has killed «diciendo que tiene órden del Gobierno para ello», and «tiene un fierro puriseño y otro luiseño y qe. con ellos marca ganado»; days earlier he sent a partida and many hides to Sta Bárbara.
