Some Gentile Indians come and others leave. Due to the lack of funds they 
cannot remain; and according to the preceding sum, they exist in this New 
Mission of Our Lady of Rosario, not counting the Gentiles as expressed 
above, 53 persons, all of them Indians. And for its constancy, I affixed 
my signature-- Fray Jose Mariano REYES.
