Heading verbatim: 'Diego de Borica a Pedro Alberni'. At Mission Santa Clara Borica delivered to Alberni a certified copy of the office 'q.e con f.ha de 15 de Dic.e del ano ult.o me paso el Exmo. Sr. Virey Marq.s de Branciforte, junto con la del Informe del R.l Tribl. de Ctas.' [which under date of 15 December last the viceroy Marques de Branciforte passed to me, together with that of the report of the Royal Tribunal de Cuentas] = the document at n358, treating of there being no ground for the auxilios sought for the troops of Alberni's company on account of their having been detailed to garrison this peninsula, 'pero inclinando el modo de compensar sus serv.s p.r medio de una nueva Poblac.n en q.e establecerse despues de cumplida' [but inclining toward the way of compensating their services by means of a new settlement in which to establish themselves after their term is served]. 'P.a poder proponer a S.E. lo q.e sobre este seg.do punto convenga ejecutar, me ha de informar Vmd. a continuac.n de este of.o cuanto le parezca conducente al logro de la idea' [in order to propose to His Excellency what should be done on this second point, you are to report at the foot of this office whatever seems to you conducive to achieving the idea], the more so since in Borica's company Alberni 'tiene reconocidos los terrenos de la Mis.n de Sta. Cruz y las intermedias p.r todo el arroyo del Pajaro h.ta la de Sta. Clara' [has examined the lands of Mission Santa Cruz and those lying between all along the arroyo del Pajaro as far as Santa Clara] and, in company with 'el Ingeniero Estraord.o D.n Alberto de Cordova, los sitios de la Alameda y todas las inmediaciones del Pres.o de S.n Fran.co y Mision de este Nombre' [the Extraordinary Engineer Don Alberto de Cordova, the sites of the Alameda and all the environs of the presidio of San Francisco and the mission of that name]. In the report he is to state whether near that presidio or mission there are lands fit for settlement, 'espresando sus calidades'. Spans n359-n360; the text continues past the foot of n359 and closes on n360 (stamp 362 / hand 365) with the cite p. 874.
