Summary
After the Pima revolt of 1751, the procurators of New Spain were sent to Rome and Spain to lobby for more missionaries. This letter accompanies them. It is of little substance, but interesting in regards the politics involved. It notes the dire need of making more conversions north of the Colorado River and in California. (R. Perez) (1977)

Summary
Responding to Galvez plan to exterminate enemy Seris and Pimas along the Rio Grande and the seacoast, Anza notes that with the recommended expenditure of 200,000 pesos they could augment presidio troops, supply them with better arms and munitions, and thus effectively control the Cerro Prieto, now used as a Haven by the enemies. Noting that the vecinos of Sonora can't be expected to raise much money, due to their small number, he reminds Pineda of the missions' generosity. (R. Perez) (1977)

Documentation

Summary
A description of the problems that the missions and settlements of Sonora and the Pimeria Alta has found with Apache incursions. They seem to laugh or mock the Spanish arms - many settlements on the fringe have been abondoned for this reason. Although the missions in this land have suffered in the more than 70 years of their history, never have incursions reached so far into the province as now. The character of Apache military prowess is described. (C. Briggs) (1975)
