I Pray God May Preserve Your Health

Thank God I Arrived The Day Before Yesterday, The First Of The Month, At This Port Of San Diego, Truly A Fine One, And Not Without Reason Called Famous.

As, However, The Port In Reality Lies In Thirty-two Degrees Thirty-four Minutes, According To The Observations That Have Been Made, They Went Much Beyond It, Thus Making The Voyage Much Longer Than Was Necessary.

We Have Seen Indians In Immense Numbers, And All Those On This Coast Of The Pacific Contrive To Make A Good Subsistence On Various Seeds, And By Fishing.

We Found On Our Journey, As Well As In The Place Where We Stopped, That They Treated Us With As Much Confidence And Good-will As If They Had Known Us All Their Lives.

Here I Found Those Who Had Set Out Before Me, Both By Sea And Land, Except Those Who Have Died.
