'Condicion de los indíjenas del establecim.to'

State Papers, Missions, tomo VI–XI · BANC MSS C-A 51, document 356

'Condicion de los indíjenas del establecim.to': 'los indíjenas de la finca estan muy contentos, y en su concepto pocos hay como ellos, pues p.r su naturaleza son hombres de bien y trabajadores.' Key line: 'el alc.e Domingo les ha puesto á todos apelativos' [the Indian alcalde Domingo has given every neophyte a surname]. He asks whether the pueblos should be renamed and by whom, noting he already writes everywhere with the new name ('Pueblo de Figueroa?' — the query mark is Savage's).
