Foster as Alcalde: Foster is 'the most valuable man to the U.S. in this district of Cal.'; his services should not be dispensed with; the Californians (90 of every 100) do not believe the territory is ceded to the U.S. & reason that if the war were over they would not abandon it to Indian depredations by removal of troops; when disbanded it will be reduced to a moral certainty when the American Alcalde resigns; prays Gov. prevent this calamity, the amount of his salary of no importance vs. his services
