(Doctº en inglés) Encloses the resignation of [Jean-Baptiste] Col. J.B. Charbonneau as alcalde of San Luis Rey, & says he has done his duty to the best of his ability, but being 'a half-breed Indian of the U.S. is regarded by the people as favoring the Indians more than he should do, and hence there is much complaint against him'; Stevenson suggests the expenses of Charbonneau's office should be paid from the civil fund & the U.S. Quartermaster be authorized to do so, since the alcaldes serve without pay — ⭐⭐ J.B. Charbonneau (Sacagawea's son, 'Pomp') as alcalde of San Luis Rey, resigning under accusations of favoring the mission Indians
