Señor Comisionado del Pueblo:
I am returning to you the official communication that was sent to Alcalde José María Martínez to nominate two people for this year's positions. The Alcalde should propose names of people that he and the former regidores consider qualified for the positions. Subsequently, you will inform me as to your opinion concerning the new election and you will send me the results by mail immediately so that I can approve the one whom I consider best suited to serve both majesties.
I have in my possession the census of the Pueblo and the inventory of effects. Very soon I will send the pack animals to transport the corn for the tithe as well as the corn from the neighbors. As soon as I receive news from you regarding what was collected, I will order the paymaster to reimburse you.
God keep you many years.
Monterey, January 4, 1809.
