Abstract: Fr. Pedro Coomans writes from Sosa in Rota to Fr. Charles de Noyelle with a composite report on events in the Mariana Mission during 1680-1682. The report summarizes the pacification of Guam, the leadership of Solorzano and Quiroga, the transition after Fr. Besco’s death, mission organization, relocation and reduction of settlements, Rota and Sosa mission work, records of baptisms and marriages, church and residence development, and the work of German-assistance Jesuits and coadjutors, while greeting Noyelle and other Jesuit contacts in Rome.
