*Solicitud sobre traslación del pueblo* — the alcalde, for the *vecindario*, petitions to relocate the pueblo across the river to the higher *mesa*: the surrounding arroyos overflow to within ~a *vara* of the houses, isolating the pueblo, and the road to the Mission is undermined by *pozas* (waterholes). Borica's marginal reply (verbatim): *'Monterey Enero 10 de 1797 = Reservaré la determinación hasta que el ingeniero Alberto de Córdova regrese de San Diego, reconozca el terreno é informe lo que le parezca = Borica'*
