A letter from the Governor Francisco Córcoles y Martinez--Conduct of the
Christians worse than the Heathen--Soldiers guarded while cutting timber
to repair the Fort--The Castle in a tumble-down condition--The Garrison
to be maintained for the propagation of the Holy Gospel and to shelter
the workers of the Apostolic faith--A paper of representation to his
Majesty concerning certain properties willed to the Royal Treasury by
Don Francisco Menendez, and designated by the King for use as
hospitals--The Royal Officers of the Province think these properties
should be sold at auction, and the proceeds applied to the back pay of
soldiers who are suffering and in need.
