1920, expedition correspondence
En el despacho he hablado de Annobón, poniendo de manifiesto los progresos realizados por los habitantes de la citada Isla, progresos obtenidos captándome la enemiga de la Misión Católica, pues con el establecimiento de la Cooperativa he disminuido los ingresos que obtenían de aquellos habitantes abonándoles en cartones los trabajos que para ellos ejecutaban, moneda que sin más curso legal que en la misión, en ella eran cambiadas por ropas y efectos de los entregados en España como limosna para los naturales, a los que presentan de modo diferente a lo que en realidad son.
