Concerning fray Vera's voluntary resignation as administrator at Taos, Salcedo asks that Vera be treated with consideration due to his more than twenty years of service. Vera had to postpone his departure, but should be able to leave for Mexico, taking advantage of the next Cordon. Salcedo has decided that Vera should be placed at the mission at Zia, where, there being few parishoners, and assisting the synod, his administrative duties would be lighter. (Lloyd Kendall) (1980)
