Under these considerations the Judge feels that the Rev. Bishop of Cuba
should send him a copy of all that he wishes, sharing with him the care
of the faithful of Florida, governing them by means of the
aforementioned ministers and taking as much forethought as his zeal
dictates and he considers convenient to a good government and conversion
of that Catholic portion, availing themselves of the necessary form of
Governor of Havana and Captain-General of that Island of Cuba, not only
for having been the means of which Dr. Campos availed himself, but also
that he may communicate with the Governor and Chief of Florida, and that
the Rev. Bishop of Minorca send him notice of his letter and beg him to
take charge and investigate such reports as may come up, informing
himself through the Vicar-General of Minorca and also of those Catholic
subjects who from said Island have passed to the city of Alzuvia as we
are assured in his letter. That the Commandant of Minorca be stimulated
anew to obtain the information demanded of him. And that he send
documents to the Marquez of Gremaldin to the effect that he send notice
to the Council of the church service, which by the Secretary in charge
has been made in the Courts of London at the instance of the clergy and
Bishop of Minorca, and of the resolution taken by the Council, provided
by the King of Great Britain. These documents being necessary, to send a
copy to the Governor and Bishop of Cuba that they may proceed securely
and provide such resources as are needed, for all of which they can free
themselves with necessary speed. Notwithstanding the Council will
remember what is most agreeable.
Madrid, April 16th, 1771.
