Visited Mission S. José; accounts 'en mal estado' 'como en todas partes'; counted 589 almas

Visited Mission S. José; accounts 'en mal estado' 'como en todas partes'; counted 589 almas. 'Que la indiada en general parece estar descontenta con el administrador, pues que en tiempo de los padres nada les faltaba y que ahora carecen hasta de ropa que reciben solamente una vez al año y eso no todos.' 'Que los castigos son muy fuertes, pues llegan a veces á 50 y 100 azotes'; the mayordomo beats them himself 'cojiendolos de pelo y tirandolos al suelo.' The Indians complain the administrator hauled 'muchas carretadas de ropa' to his own rancho 'y que quieren otro administrador.'
