Departmental State Papers, tomo I–II · BANC MSS C-A 27, document 171

On Argüello's refusal to hand over the archive without a direct order: Estudillo crated the archive (1–4 Nov) and loaded the cajón on a mule to depart, but Argüello appeared and ordered it unloaded, insisting it would not leave his house without an express delivery order; Alférez Rodrigo del Pliego pursued him 2½ leagues to order it back — 'un escándalo nunca visto en Monterey' (pairs with doc 159)
