During the general uprising that occured in New México, he was, on that occasion, on a frontier as captain of six men he had at his command. Hearing about the uprising, he did not want to desert the frontier, having lost his wife and children on that occasion. If they do not give him aid, he cannot move his family, because he is estremely poor. At this, I (Vargas), the governor and captain general, repeated to him what is of record above, according to the order and directive of the most excellent lord viceroy, the Conde de Galve, to which I refer.
