ARCHIVO DE LA SECRETARIA DE GOBIERNO DEL ARZOBISPADO. 
(Archive of the Secretariat of the Archbishopric.) 
Except for recent records, the archive contains very few papers. Of the 
old papers the most voluminous relate to capellanias, dispensations (some of 
them relating to Chihuahua, to Conchos, and to other frontier places), causas. 
(trials), and instruments of sale (escrituras de venta) of church property. 
Nothing of direct bearing on the United States was noted. 
THE CONVENTO DE SAN ANTONIO. 
For the early history of this foundation see Arlegui, Chroénica. There is a 
small collection of old manuscripts, of a miscellaneous character, in the 
library of the monastery, which, until the writer’s visit, were in a heap in the 
attic. While there are important papers for the local history of the establish- 
ment, the only ones noted as having any bearing on the history of the north 
country were the following: 
“The year 1764. Testimonio of proceedings (diligencias) by the Ca- 
bildo, Justice, and Regimiento of the Villa of San Phelippe el Real 
de Chihuahua, at the petition of the Rev. Father Fray Angel 
Lopez, President, Custodian, and Commissary of Thirds (ter- 
ceros) in said villa, in order that the Hospice (hospicio) located 
in it may be erected into a Monastery (convento) of Our Holy 
Father San Francisco, and said Cabildo Remitted to this Govern- 
ment said proceedings in order that the Sefior Governor of the 
Kingdom may Report to the King (God preserve him), and impe- 
trate from his Royal piety his License, as all may be seen within. 
34 legajos.” 
(Contains correspondence to 1772. Valuable for the local history of 
Chihuahua. )
