2 ALS to Juan de Yturberoaga 3p., docketed 31-31.5 cm. The first letter discusses his debt to Padre Juan Baptista Haller of Tepomera [?]. He would pay him if he had the money, but the only thing he has in abundance is want. In the second letter he is grateful for pardon of the debt, but he already paid it. Complains of his poverty and of the wealth of the Tarahumara missions like that of Padre Joseph Neuman who gives nothing to the Province although he could afford to.
