Regrets the best of the rooms the pueblo needed was ceded to 'fr. Antº Anzar' [= Fr. José Antonio Anzar], who already had 14 rooms available. 'Digo que me es sensible esta medida por que es conocido el interes que estos caballeros tienen en entorpecer todo adelanto.' 'Ya llegué á convenserme que la ambición y malicia dominan al corazon de estos hombres.' That the friar wants nothing else 'si no el que yo y todos los indígenas de esta poblacion nos dediquemos á fomentar su comercio.' Gloss: Castro on Franciscan obstruction of the SJB pueblo; 'indígenas' here reads as natives/inhabitants of the place, not certainly Indians.
