Superior Government State Papers, tomo Vols. I–XVIII · BANC MSS C-A 57, document 65

The relayed Padrés report (30 Mar 1829): José M. Padrés diagnoses el «mal estado» de las Californias — (1) la educación española de los habitantes («piensan y obran de la misma manera»), (2) el mal sistema administrativo, (3) la «crasa ignorancia», con el fanatismo como principal resorte y la influencia de los Misioneros; en prueba cita el caso del Prefecto Sarría (deportación por no jurar); añade que la ley de expulsión «no ha tenido efecto» en CA — más bien muchos expulsos de Sonora/Sinaloa se refugiaron allí; el Presidente pide á Echeandía exponga su opinión punto por punto — the liberal-anticlerical blueprint for secularization/Híjar–Padrés
