Abstract:
Viceroy Bucareli, having read Father Palóu's diary which suggested the possibilities of more missions in the San Francisco area, is inspired to establish six new missions. The letters inform Fray Junípero Serra, president of the California missions, about the new missions, their needs, and the planned overland expedition to be made by Juan Bautista de Anza from Sonora to Monterey.
