To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Agreeably to his love for the hidden life, we may attribute to his humility that he wrote next to nothing. As the head of a populous Indian mission, and as pastor of San Jose City, he had abundant occasions to write letters, draw up documents, and make the annual and bi-annual reports. Yet, though he held his position for thirty-six years, there is not one document or letter written by him alone in existence. All such correspondence was preserved at Mon- terey, and there are thousands of letter...s from other Fathers preserved in the archives of Santa Barbara and at the cathedral of San Francisco, but only three unsigned copies of letters from Fr. Magin. Lest he himself be brought before the world, the holy man left all such work to Fr. Jose Viader ; and Fr. Viader it is who figures everywhere and at all times as the representative and manager of Santa Clara. Fr. Magin seems to have delighted in being overlooked and in staying in the background. It was, doubtless, also the sense of unworthi- ness, and not only love of recollection, that made him keep the eyes to the ground as one not de- serving to walk the earth.
