Manuscript document, signed by Philip V, "Yo el Rey," requesting that Mexico City treasury officials provide a full accounting of monies spent to quell an Indian uprising in Baja California. Beginning in 1734 the Pericú Indians of Baja California, numbering about 10,000, rose against the missionaries, killing Father Nicholas Tamaral, the Jesuit founder of San José del Cabo. The uprising was finally put down by troops under the command of José de Escandón. The treasury officials in Mexico wrote the king on 22 April 1744 saying they paid 51,877 pesos, 6 tomines and 4 grains for the pacification of the uprising. The king here acknowledges that letter and requests further details.
