Note on the Santa Clara informant, Felix Buelna, page 228. The Reverend A.D. Spearman, S.J., University of Santa Clara, California, in postal card of October 4, 1960 adds: "Felix Buelna was an altar boy at M. Sta. Clara c. 1804 and later taught in the Mission school of the Franciscans prior to the coming of the Jesuits. I haven't the year yet."
