Answered on September 12
of [17]92. No. 160.
In view of the excesses that have been substantiated against the parish priest of
that villa, Don Fran[cis]co Gomez Moreno, in the books of complaints kept by
you about the manner and conduct that he observes, I have declared, with an
opinion from the senor auditor of War, that an official copy of [the complaints] be
forwarded with the appropriate official letter to the most illustrious senor
diocesan [bishop], so that he might take the proper action and dictate to him his
pastoral zeal, [and] urging and beseeching him to report what [those actions]
might be, for my superior awareness. And I notify you of this for your
intelligence and gui- / /1 v dance.
God keep you many years. Mexico, August 7, 1792.
