Code entry
In 1647 the royal officials wrote: "For some years now they [Indian allies] have been behaving suspiciously, which we blame on the poor collection of the situados and the shortages in what Your Majesty customarily gives them annually. Two years ago many of those in Guale abandoned their towns (that of Satuache totally) to retire among infieles, setting a poor example to other Christians. We have them just about reduced to their pueblos and doctrinas now and some of the ringleaders have been brought to this presidio. This, Sire, demands a remedy, for this presidio cannot conserve itself without the services of these natives" (Francisco Menendez Marquez I and Horruytiner, 1647). (Bushnell SS)
