- Previously read author: 'San Francisco'. Leaf n174 (IA 168036075_79_15_2), printed stamp 175. Entry: '+ 1817 = Marzo 31. = S.n Francisco. / Manuel Gomez al Gob. Sola = Mal estado de los Artilleros. / Se queja de la escacez y mal estado de los artilleros de ese Presidio, pues todos estan invalidos y achacosos, al estremo que ha habido dia que no ha tenido con que relevar la bateria. / ps. 745-47.' AUTHOR: catalogue records 'San Francisco' - that is the PLACE in the heading, not the author; the author is Manuel Gomez (named only inside the summary). Systematic in this stretch: the same field holds 'Guadalajara' in ca13-d212 and 'Tepic' in ca13-d213, both places from the same three-entry leaf. RECIPIENT: field blank although the leaf says 'al Gob. Sola'; graded PARTIAL because the summary does carry 'Gov. Sola'. PLACE: field blank and date_text ('1817-03-31') carries no place, though 'S.n Francisco' is on the leaf; PARTIAL because the datum sits (mislabelled) in the author field. DATE, ORIG 'ps. 745-47' = 'i.745-747', and stamp 175 confirmed. SUMMARY accurate including the verbatim quotation 'ha habido dia que no ha tenido con que relevar la bateria'. OMISSIONS: the leaf's other two entries (Palacio, 11 Jul 1817, ps. 736-38; Maria Antonia Pintado, 30 Jul 1817, ps. 739-40 y 744) are ca13-d212 and d213.
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.
