Correction to this entry.

Previously read date_text: '1803 Nov 24'; scan: 'n244–245'; orig_page: 'p.241–42'. Leaves read: 168036075_79_13_2 n244, n245 and n246 (scale 2, plus a scale-1 crop of the date line). The document is the third entry on n245, headed "1803 - Set.e 24 - S.n Vicente. / Ruiz á Arrillaga. Estado de las Fronteras. / Participa no haber novedad en la tropa: fuga gral. de naturales de Mision de S.to Tomas, q.e no causó ningunos perjuicios; no haberse celebrado misa en aquella des- [n246] de el 17 de Mayo: revoluciones de indios p.r causa de pensar no se enviará jamás Misionero á S.to Tomas &c. / pp. 607-8." DATE WRONG: the leaf reads "Set.e 24" (24 September), not Nov 24 — verified on an enlarged scale-1 crop. SCAN_PIN WRONG: the record pins n244–245 and its ia_url points at n244, but n244 (printed stamp 243) carries two different documents — "1803 - Nov.e 5 - S.n Vicente / Ruiz á Fr. Juan Rivas ... p. 601" and "1803 - Nov.e 30 - S.n Vicente / Ruiz á Arrillaga. Nuevas declaraciones á dos reos ... pp. 602-3". The Estado de las Fronteras runs n245–n246. ORIG_PAGE WRONG: the leaf foots "pp. 607-8" (which the catalogue instead buried in the summary text); the recorded "p.241–42" is the pencil foliation of n245/n246. savage_page OK: the printed stamps on the two leaves that actually carry the document are 244 and 245, exactly as recorded — which is what shows the defect is in the scan index, not the savage page. summary_fidelity PARTIAL: substance right, but "desde el 17 de Mayo" attaches on the leaf to the mass not having been celebrated, not to the "revoluciones de indios", and the leaf makes the Indians' belief that no missionary will ever be sent the CAUSE of the disturbances ("p.r causa de pensar"), a link the abstract drops. place PARTIAL: place field blank, though S. Vicente is carried inside the author string. Omissions OK — every document on n244 and n245 is catalogued (d275, d274, d278, d276, d277).

The originals of these records burned in the 1906 San Francisco fire. What survives is Thomas Savage’s 1870s copy, and this page describes that copy.
