*(reply to the friar)* — Miranda's side: the Padres are furious he can't do more mission labor given guard & home duties; recounts hunting lost cattle day after day, wearing out his horses; could spare only one escort soldier (others at Sta Clara / sick / on guard); the real cause is he wouldn't let his son mind the mission cattle (no horse lent) & couldn't make the plows; begs to be transferred and to send his family to the presidio
