Ecclesiastical Archives 389 
Legajo 10, manuscript life, by Father Espinosa, of his brother, Dr. Dn. 
Juan de Espinosa, in Espinosa’s own hand. 
(The inventory cites a fragment of baptismal books of the Opatas missions 
of 1610 “ proving that the Franciscans were their first missionaries”. I 
can not say whether it is present or not. It calls also for a life of Father 
Casafias by Father Hidalgo which I did not find.) 
J. Books written by members (hijos) of the college, i. e., lists of titles, with 
dates of impression. 1 legajo. 
(Nearly all present. ) 
K. Papers Relating to missions of this college and that of Guatemala among 
the Infidels. 21 legajos. 
(This is the most important division of the archive for the history of the 
United States, and it is relatively complete.) 
Legajo 1. “ Primera Entrada 4 los Texas.” In all, 20 numbers, under 
three headings. Nearly all present: 
“ First Entrada to the Texas.” 1689. 
“Second Entrada to Tejas, in the year of 1716.” 
“Notices since the French invasion in the year of 1719.” 
Legajo 2. “ Papeles de la Mision de Nra. Sefiora de los Dolores de la 
Punta, y Pueblo, con el superadito de Orcasitas.” 
(The documents relate mainly to troubles of the middle of the eighteenth 
century, and not to the founding of the mission.) 
Legajo 8. “ Papeles de la Mission de el Rio Grande.” 
(Thirty numbers, all present. They cover the period from 1701 to 1769. 
The history of these missions, of course, is inextricably interwoven with 
that of the Texas missions. ) 
Legajo 4. ‘““ Papeles de las Missiones de el Rio de San Antonio.” 
(Twenty-four numbers, nearly all present. They extend from 1717 for- 
ward. Important.)

(Six numbers, all present.) 
Legajo 6. “ Papeles de la Mission de San Francisco Xavier, que intentd 
el Marqués de San Miguel de Aguayo.” 35 numbers, nearly all 
present. 
(These papers concern not only the mission of San Xavier attempted at 
San Antonio in 1722, but also those founded in the middle of the century 
on the San Xavier River. They cover nearly the whole history of these 
little known missions. ) 
Legajo 7. “ Papeles sobre la Fundacion de Missiones a los Apaches.” 
19 numbers, nearly all present. 
(They cover attempts to establish missions for the Apache in Western 
Texas from 1746 to 1768.)

Dates, 1745-1748.) 
Legajo 10. “ Papeles sobre los Diezmos de las Misiones.” 10 numbers, 
nearly all present. 
(Mainly correspondence of the college with the Bishop of Guadalajara, 
covering the whole of the eighteenth century. Excellent for this side of 
mission administration. )
