Señor Comisionado del Pueblo Your official communication of the 7th of the current month, informs me that the livestock from the mission are still at the Place of the Skulls. In another document sent to me by Reverend Father Narciso Durán, he protests that he does not want to remove the animals. I instruct you to go immediately to said location with enough people from that town and proceed to remove said livestock and replace them with the animals that belong to the settlers and townspeople. Do all you can to ensure the success of these measures. It was a bad decision on your part to send me your official communication as well as that of the priest by way of an inválido who was transporting goods, because he was delayed on the route four days. I therefore instruct you to send your documents and any others by urgent dispatch which will take them directly to the presidio. God keep you many years.Monterey, November 12, 1809 José María Estudillo
