Letter from Father Pablo Cavalleria to Father Francisco Sanchez
Isabela de Basílan, December 31, 1886.
Pax Christi.
My very dearly beloved in Christ, Father Sánchez:
Replying to your favor, in which your Reverence asks for information concerning the inhabitants of this island of Basílan, I have deemed it best to write the following.
Races
The races of this island are the indigenous race and the Moros. The indigenous is Christian and there is little or nothing to say of them, since they are well known to your Reverence.
The Moro[9] race is infidel, and lives on the coast and in the interior.
