Consequently, all together the said contributions amount annually to
five thousand five hundred and seventy-four pesos, which is the sum
found among the said infantry in the balances and settlements of the
accounts; it is levied on them when their pay is given to them, and

while they have served in these islands in the military posts. This
is the most authentic account which it has been possible to get,
for many soldiers are generally sick in this city and other places;

governor and captain-general, Don Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera,
we attest the same in Manila, June twenty, one thousand six hundred
and thirty-six.
