Gov. Pablo Vicente de Solá → friars / commandants of Monterey & SF — Lord Cochrane's raid on Todos Santos. — ⭐ Enemy ships of 'la Escuadra del Lord Cochrane' entered Cabo San Lucas (*Cabo de Cortés*) and attacked Mission Todos Santos (Baja California Sur) on 18 Feb; the inhabitants killed the lieutenant + 4 men, mortally wounded 3, and captured the rest — a 13-man raiding party. Solá orders the friars/presidios to withdraw church silver & valuables from the coast. → military history (foreign naval raid, independence era), borderlands. ⚠️ Savage dates the circular 1823 & the raid '18 Feb'; reconcile with Cochrane's known 1822 Pacific operations + the 1822 governorship transition before asserting the year.
