*Solicitud para aumentar una Escolta* — long memo on the troop shortage for Santa Catalina & the Baja frontier: sgt + cabo + 12 rarely subsists (caballada needs 4 men day/night; bastimentos hauled 30–50 leagues from Sto Domingo/El Rosario); Mission Santo Tomás (1791) got no augmentation; asks +1 cabo & 5 soldiers; needs men for sorties after *Cimarrones* and to repel the Colorado-river Indians if they attack the founding — 55 plazas cover 400 leagues from southern Baja to San Miguel, and the Santa Catalina rancherías have intimate communication with the numerous Colorado ones
