[Sonora? Mexico] 2 ALS to Juan de Yturberoaga and list of supplies needed for 1709 6p., 27-31 cm. In the first letter he makes various requests and complaints concerning supplies and debts. He asks for icons in silver and a missal bound in green or blue velvet with silver clasps. He mentions the arrival by sea of sixteen padres bound for the Phillipines and six for here, of which he asks three to be sent to his mission. In the second letter he complains that since the missions can't get supplies from the Province, they spend their money elsewhere and the money leaves the system. "If my Brother would send them what is necessary they would live grateful and there would be good money every year for the Province. Try it one year and you will see." Also mentions an epidemic.
