Carta anónima e incompleta de un agustino en el sur de China. Ca. 1687

The document is in compliance with instructions from a superior to provide a report on the missionary activities of the Augustinian order, specifically the work of Fray Miguel Rubio and other friars in the provinces of Canton, China. These missionaries, based in locations such as Xao King fu and Nan hing fu, have been actively converting locals to Christianity. From October 1686 to November 1687, they have converted more than 1,200 adults and countless infants abandoned on the streets, a common practice among the Chinese. The report highlights the remarkable number of conversions and the divine interventions that have supported their mission. Specifically, Fray Juan de Rivera has converted over 300 individuals in Nan hiung fu and has established a Christian community in a nearby village. This text is in the volume with the title "PERTENECE AL/Aparador fuera de la Pared/Cajón/Númber 4/ITALONES Y CHINA/Legajos 1. /2./ 3./ 4./ 5. The volume was compiled by Pedro Orense. Letter about the Augustinians in South China. Undated, but probably written in 1687.
