'Informe General sobre las Misiones' — Fages's comprehensive mission-by-mission report (per the Cmdte Gral's 1 Dec 1786 order), province growth 1769→1787 ('210 leguas,' 10 missions + pueblos LA/San José), promised padrón de almas; neophyte 15–17-day ranchería rotation, harvest-shortfall (mission of 1100+ neófitos, only 120 rationable), 400-p sínodo, Baja church goods; per-mission notes (e.g. San Carlos/Monterey lands, climate, disease/mortality @n135); ⭐⭐⭐ indigenous-RESISTANCE passage — a nation 'la mas inquieta, bronca, altiva, guerrera… llena de un espíritu de independencia' (n125, ⚠ nation un-named); ends n149 with a proposal to recruit artisan-convicts from the México/Guadalajara jails to serve the presidios/missions then settle the pueblos. ⚠ the promised *padrón de almas* ('por separado') was NOT copied by Savage — the informe ends at n149; no demographic table follows (the 1779 Reglamento, Doc 31, begins n150)
