Even royal pressure on behalf of the Floridians failed to improve the situation. In December, 1721, the king’s order to the bishop to purchase untainted, high-quality supplies for the Florida garrison accomplished little. [Note: king to bishop of Puebla LA 12/19/1721] The Puebla system simply did not work well. It had failed to provide a regular source of money and supplies for the Florida colony. Even royal prodding did little to remedy the basic defects in the administration of the subsidy. (Tepaske GSF)
