*Instancia / Licencia / Causa de disgustos* — the Mission San José Padres demand the troop keep doing all the mission's *faenas* though the principal works (per the *Instrucción*) are done; Fr. Barcenilla complains of soldier Salvador Higuera; the soldier-courier declared the Padres want the troop to work the same as the Indians, that he built doors & yokes unthanked & refused to make plows he didn't understand. Argüello's key remark: these friars 'acaban de llegar de su Colegio sin la menor experiencia ni conocimiento en el gobierno de Misiones' — hence continual friction with the escort, worse if forbidden to make the soldiers 'trabajar… como los Indios'
