Estapos Unipos, LimitTEs. 
(United States Boundary; 4 cajas.) 
Under this head, a subdivision of Asuntos Internacionales, are filed the 
report of Father José Antonio Pichardo on the Texas-Louisiana boundary, a 
part of the documents collected by himself and Talamantes, and some papers 
of the Teran boundary commission (1827-1828). In 1807 Father Pichardo 
was appointed to succeed Father Talamantes on the commission to determine 
through historical study the correct boundary between Texas and Louisiana. 
After five years of labor he submitted to the viceroy, in February, 1812, a pon- 
derous study of nearly all phases of the history of Texas and of many phases 
of that of New Mexico and Louisiana. Though this report has been sought, 
it is doubted if it has been consulted since it was used by the boundary com- 
mission in 1828. It fills more than 4000 small folio pages. The original map 
made to accompany the report is in the cartography department of the Secre- 
taria de Fomento. The principal documents of the collection, without distinc- 
tion as to caja, since they are somewhat mixed, are as follows:
