Documents relate Vidal de Lorca's request for transfer of his two sons to his colony of Nuevo Santander. Payments of salary owed to one son. Son's promotion. Another letter by Ugalde gives a good description of state of military affairs in the colony. Its lack of training, discipline, and instruction is emphasized in folios 35-37. Granting of six-month leave granted to his son in order to serve as an instructor of the troops in the colony. Additional letters concern this son's disinterest in his new post and his transfer to Mexico to rejoin his old regiment. (P. Lenz, September 1989)
