Summary
(A. Dell'acqua, may 13, 1987) Baeza forces Indians to work on textiles, paying them 1/2 real for 4 reales work. They are forced to gather cotton for his mills. He refuses to support missionary efforts with the military; Zuni has consequently fallen back into idolatry. (R. Perez, 1977)

Summary
States that the Indians receive in exchange for six fanegas of Pinon only one cow, which is worth only three pesos in that area. This is unfair due to the great distances they must travel to gather Pinones (60 leagues) and also due to the great risk involved from the enemy. (R. Perez) (1977)
