Diego de Vargas writes to viceroy transmitting facts concerning lack of supplies (agricultural and military) in certain missions and presidios. The information comes from fray Francisco Vargas' letters. He explains situation of families and lack of proper tools for irrigation and sewing crops. He describes certain metal assays he has done which have possibility of being lucrative. He closes by reafirming the immediacy of the need for delivery of arms and munitions. (John Zilboorg) (1980)
