VERBATIM HEADING: 'Octᵉ 22.' with the page cite written at the FOOT of the block rather than after the heading: 'pp. 302-4.' GLOSS: Arrillaga to the Viceroy of Mexico, Monterey, 22 Oct 1793. SUBSTANCE, verbatim: 'El alcance de la Compª. segun manifiestan los docs. qe. remite, desde 81 á 92, es de $14.357. 2 r.s qe. en los 6 ajustam.tos qe. formó la Tesoreria adolecen de un error de consideracion, pues los Ministros de Cajas Reales sacaron á favor del Presidio $40.594, cuando en realidad no alcanzaba sino $9.402.' SIGNIFICANCE: a documented Tesoreria/Cajas Reales accounting error of roughly 31,000 pesos in the presidial company balance for 1781-1792, i.e. hard evidence for the habilitado-system audit argument. I read the three figures at high magnification: $14.357 2 rs, $40.594, $9.402.
