In the presidio San Salvador of the island of Hermosa,

there are three companies of Spanish infantry, with two

captains (for the third is commanded by the castellan

and governor of the said presidio), three alferezes,

three sergeants, two minor posts, and one hundred

and eighty soldiers among all the companies, in the

proportion of sixty men to each company, which is the

most authentic information that we have been able to

discover and ascertain. At the rate of one peso per

month from each captain, four reals from each alferez,

two from each sergeant, minor post, and soldier, it

amounts annually to six hundred and twenty-seven pesos 627 pesos

In the said presidio there are two adjutants of the

sargento-mayor, one with the pay of a musketeer,

and the other with two hundred and forty pesos per

[_illegible in MS._: year?], which at the rate of

two reals per month from the one who serves as a

soldier, and six from the other, amounts annually to

twelve pesos 12 pesos
