Fray Juan Calzada reports on the management and operations of up to nineteen missions during 1815–1818. In this report, he details the delay in entrusting the missions to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction and the vital importance of indigenous people converting to Catholicism. Furthermore, Calzada describes the Franciscans in charge of administering the established missions as well as continuing to expand their provinces further west. At the end of the report, there are two statistical reports on the indigenous inhabitants of selected missions, and their monetary gains from the planting and harvesting of different food sources.
