Spans n320-n323; heading 'Sobre desercion de indios de la Misn, robos de Ganado &c.' Encloses his 14 July letter to the Prefecto interino del 2º Distrito quoting the 'Sr. vicitador de estas Misiones': 'En cuanto á la desercion de los indios en general he hecho los reclamos mas enérgicos á la Prefectura'; work paralyzed, 'va á acabarse de arruinar esta Misn.' The caporal over the cattle and the ox-herder fled on learning of arrests of 'algunos de razon en Sta. Ana por robo de Ganado.' The Prefectura ordered the Alcalde 1º of Los Angeles that no 'admor alguno de Misiones' remove Indians found in the city without the Juzgado's leave, circulated to 'los dueños de ranchos como encargados de Policia' — 'Esta es á mi entender la causa de la desercion en general de los indios': a carreta came by night, sent by Severiano Rios, and carried off a family.
