Gov. Pablo Vicente de Solá's outgoing draft letters (*borradores*), pt. 1. — ⭐ Savage's structural note: orig. pp. 493–597 are *borradores* of the governor at Monterey — short outgoing drafts to Luis Argüello / Gabriel Moraga / Manuel Gómez / Francisco Castro. Routine: soldier licenses, planting labor ('emplee gente de razón y no gentiles'), a soldier's marriage (*limpieza de sangre* check), discipline (soldier Gerónimo Soto — shackle + 1 yr public works + jail), company vacancies. ⭐ Notable: Mission San Rafael (founded 1817) 'no necesita igual guarnición á la de las otras Misiones'; ⭐⭐ foreign-ship protocol, 18 Apr 1818 — no foreign (European *or American*) officers/crew may land; the ship's commander sends one officer ashore to state his business; if only watering, 'un novillo á la playa y el agua diaria' (→ the Bay Area borderlands dossier, Bouchard year); ⭐ the Santa Cruz friar-poisoning case — neophytes accused of poisoning Padres Jayme Escudé & Marcelino Marquínez, investigated by Lt. Moraga (→ the Indian-raiding dossier).
