Documents deal with request of Vidal de Lorca, Melchor that his salary be increased and that he be exempt from payment of Media Annata. A good account is given concerning the different salaries made by other governors, such as that of Texas. It is shown that these other salaries are considerably higher than Vidal de Lorca's. Last documents concern request that he be exempt from payment of Media Annata. Claims to have fulfilled this duty. Documents give account of what royal decree of the Media Annata is and the rules that govern it. (P. Lenz, September 1989)
