Roy AI. GRANT.-In the town of Santa Fé, on the fifteenth day of November, one thousand seven hundred and forty, I the lieutenant colonel, governor and captain general of this kingdom of New Mexico, don Domingo Gaspar de Mendoza, having seen the present petition made by the persons therein referred to, should order, and did order, that a grant be made to them of the tract they ask for, in the name of the king, our sovereign, (whom may God preserve,) in order that they may settle, cultivate, and improve the same for the benefit of themselves, their children, heirs, and successors who may have a better right thereto, without injury to any third party, as they promise in their said petition. Therefore, I order and direct the senior justice of the town of Alburquerque, don Nicolas de Chaves, to give them the possession referred to, under the condition and terms required in such cases; and there being no doubt of the existence of other royal grants in the vicinity, the deeds and titles of those who adjoin said land are required to be presented for the fulfilment of this new grant, in order that it may be divided with more propriety, for the purpose of avoiding suits and difficulties at the present time as well as in the future, I deem it proper to conform to the forms which are provided. I have so provided, ordered and signed, with my attending witnesses, acting by appointment in the absence of a royal notary, there being none, and on common paper, there being none other in this kingdom.

DON GASPAR DOMINGO DE MENDOZA.
