Description:
Letter from Fray Manuel Pérez and Fray Francisco Galisteo to Fray Vicente Mora reporting on their progress indoctrinating Indigenous people at Mission of Santísimo Rosario de Viñadaco. In the report, the Dominicans provide a brief breakdown of the number of people they have converted. They then provide a detailed account of a confrontation the accompanying Spanish captain had with hostile Indigenous men, one of them named Macapa. The friars indicate that illness was afflicting the unfriendly Indigenous community, providing some population numbers on the ill. The account also describes other excursions the friars made to nearby communities, expressing the need for more soldiers to accompany them given the hostility they encounter.
