Department of finance (hacienda Section second, number two
thousand eight hundred and three. T. Number five thousand three
hundred and forty-six. His excellency the provisional president
having been notified by the letter of your excellencies, No. 201 of
17 instant, in which you discuss as to whether or not account was
taken of the utensils (llenos), stock, debts, and improvements of
the hacienda Ciénega del Pastor and San Augustin de los Amoles
belonging to the Pious Fund of Californias at the time of their
sale, his excellency has seen fit to say in reply to your honors, to
which I attest, that inasmuch as the supreme Government took into
consideration the farming utensils (llenos) on the said estates in
order to determine their rents, by means of which the price of value
contained in the contract made with the liquidators of the extinct
tobacco monopoly for the sale of the aforesaid estates was computed,
the approval of which contract I communicated to your honors under
number 2711 on the 25th of October last, it is not required that the
utensils be paid for separately. Therefore his excellency orders the
acceptance of the proposal made verbally by the parties interested,
provided three thousand dollars be paid down, and with the
understanding that should the utensils (llenos) thereon belong to a
third party it will be the duty of the purchasers to restore the
same or give satisfaction, relieving the Government from all
responsibility. By supreme order I communicate the same to your
honors for your information and that you may forthwith proceed to
execute the corresponding deed of sale. God and liberty. Mexico,
November 23, 1842. Trigueros gentlemen in charge of the general
treasury. November 24, department of credits. Signed by Señor
Fagoaga. On this day and in the record of this general treassury the
