'Quejas contra el Padre Mercado.' Spans n223-n224. Verbatim: 'no es causante de qe dejen de asistir diariamte los indíjenas á la Yglesia, sino qe el Pe. tiene pr. costumbre llamar á rezar bastante tarde, y de esto se sigue mucho atraso pa las piscas' — and 'la jente se iba á la pisca de frijol antes de salir el sol, pr lo qe ha suspendido el rezo.' [Gloss: the administrator answers Mercado's complaint by blaming the padre's late prayer-call for lost harvest hours, and says he suspended the rezo so the Indians could reach the bean picking before sunrise; other missions call to prayer early enough.]
