Notes:
Ilustrísimo y Reverendísimo Señor:
Aunque con fecha de 8 de agosto del año pasado de 1800, se sirvió Vuestra Señoría Ilustrísima remitirme el título de Capellán del Hospital de Arizpe, no he podido trasladarme a el, hasta primero del de la fecha, por no haber proveído de ministro en la misión que ocupaba (1) el Reverendo Padre Presidente, a causa de no haber tenido razón del colegio de la Santa Cruz de mi desafiliación. En el día está en dicha misión el Padre Fraile Joaquín Goitia, a quien entregue, la que Vuestra Señoría Ilustrísima se sirvió mandar, comunicándole las mismas facultades, que Yo tenía respecto del Presidente.
En la expresada del 8 de agosto, me da Vuestra Señoría Ilustrísima respecto del Hospital, las mismas facultades, que tenía, para el presidio (2) excepto el presenciar matrimonios y debiendo Yo, según el título, ejercer la administración espiritual respecto de los militares, que fija, o accidentalmente residan en esta capital, espero se sirva Vuestra Señoría Ilustrísima decirme, si podré presenciar los que celebren, los que fijamente viven en ello o sus familiares.
Dios Nuestro Señor guarde la importante vida de Vuestra Señoría Ilustrísima para bien de su rebaño dilatados años. Arizpe y febrero 12 de 1801.
Besa la mano de Vuestra Señoría Ilustrísima su mas rendido súbdito.
Fraile Juan de Santisteban (rúbrica)
Ilustrísimo y Reverendísimo Señor Don Fraile Francisco Rouset de Jesús

Most Illustrious and Reverend Lord:
Although it was with the date of August 8th of the past year of 1800 that Your Most Illustrious Lordship gave me the title of chaplain of the Hospital of Arizpe, I was not able to move there until the first of this month. This was due to no minister having been provided by the Reverend Father President for the mission I occupied (1), because the College of the Holly Cross had not received word of my disaffiliation. Today, Father Friar Joaquín Goitia, who delivered Your Most Illustrious Lordship’s orders to me, communicating the same authority that I had from the President, is at the said mission.
On the cited 8th of August, Your Most Illustrious Lordship gave me the same authority with respect to the hospital that I had for the presidio (2), except for marriage presentations. Since I need the title to administer the spiritual ordinances to the military personnel who permanently or temporarily reside in this capital, I hope it will please Your Most Illustrious Lordship to tell me if I can assist those who permanently live here, or their families, with their marriage celebrations.
May God Our Lord protect the important life of Your Most Illustrious Lordship for the good of your flock for many years. Arizpe, February 12, 1801
Your most humble subject kisses the hand of Your Most Illustrious Lordship. Friar Juan de Santisteban (rúbric)
Most Illustrious and Reverend Lord Don Friar Francisco Rouset de Jesús
