Albacea Jordan found various Ordenes, planos and cartas nauticas in dead comandante Bodega's effects which he feels should be archived. Virrey(?) Agrees, and is especially interested in planos and cartas from expedicion inglesa led by Vancossen. Includes inventario de papeles (ff. 348) and indice de planos (ff. 354). (D. Uhlman, August 1988)

Series of letters between Castro, Emparan, and Revilla Gigedo concerning Castro's complaints against Emparan. Castro accuses Emparan of hautiness, insubordination, shirking gubernatorial duties, disrespect towards Castro's wife, and lack of pundonor. Castro expresses displeasure at Emparan's being sworn in as governor. Bulk of letters treat Emparan's leaving a town without comandante general Castro's permission. Argument between Emparan and Castro over who's rank is higher is in part resolved by Revilla Gigedo's attempt to end argument by guillambaud's medical evaluation of Emparan's intestinal illness, vague discussion of all-around under-manning of presidial troops, brief reports of Indian theft of animals, and murders near Iguana and Boca de Leones, Emparan's defense of Fueros as a good, honorable soldier who was attacked by Ugalde for some unknown reason. Documents end with bibliographic index of administrative correspondence which is not included in entry. (S. Gibbs, may 1988)
