Arrillaga's draft reply GRANTING the aid: notes the Viceroy's gracious letters + Quadra's son's gifts, but that he lacks a Royal order to receive Vancouver's ships 'como la que trajo el Conde de La Perouse' (Lapérouse) — so he follows last year's precedent/prudence. Yet he convienes (for the needed days) to the cargo being unloaded into the warehouse by the embarcadero — 'que franqueo en su llave' (hands over the key) + a guard-hut, provided 1–2 men guard it & all return aboard at night; the observatory may be placed by the cargo; the naturalist [Menzies] may investigate 'á la vista de este Presidio'; the officers may walk (no horses — the troop needs them); wood & water freely
