suitable compensation with the teachers. Those who desire to be admitted as boarders shall not exceed sixteen in number, because of the inconveniences that would result from giving a greater extension to their entrance into the territory where there are so few Spanish inhabitants, in which it is necessary for the natives to apply themselves to the cultivation of the fields and the industries of the community without anyone being able to enter without your license, as my vice-patron. Especial care shall be taken for the encouragement and aid by all possible means for the progress and completion of the seminary, which I have founded, so that it may exist in the form and according to the laws established for that purpose, without violating those laws in any manner. The persons who aided in the building of the new seminary in good faith with edifices, incomes, and other things, which they liberally applied and gave for it, shall be petitioned to condescend to apply it all for the seminary which I have ordered to be founded. That seminary is to be maintained in the form abovesaid. In case that such persons do not agree thereto, they shall be paid the just price of all that which shall be esteemed useful and advantageous to the above-mentioned seminary. That which shall be considered as useless for this purpose, shall be restored to its own owners, in the manner which may be suitable, excepting the edifices which might not be necessary and which must be destroyed. Not less is the innovation and wonder that has been caused that, on your part, I have not been informed of what was done in the above-mentioned seminary, contrary to what I have determined and established for its foundation, incurring also with your undue tolerance and forgetfulness of the fulfilment of your obligation and ministry the same guilt as the governor, and my displeasure. I have desired to inform you of it and to order you (as I do) that in case the above-mentioned, my governor and captain-general, does not fulfil the above expressed, my resolution, with the exactness and in the form which has been ordered him, you shall execute it without permitting the least delay, because of its great importance to my service. You shall inform me of all that may conduce to the success of this matter, in order that I may be thoroughly advised of it. Given in Madrid, March 3, 1710.
