SCOPE AND CONTENT
Notarized transcription of a file of documents concerning payment to the Dominican
missionaries in Baja California. The first part of the file presents evidence of the
missionaries' behavior, lists the heads of the missions, and gives 1793 and 1794 mission
census results. These documents were originally signed by Francisco Roa and Jose Joaquin
de Arrillaga, commandants of the Royal Presido of Loreto. The second part of the file
concerns the agricultural production of the area. These documents were originally signed
by Alba, Branciforte and others. The transcription was apparently made in 1795 and is
signed by Ldo. Pedro Martinez.
