Correction to this entry.

Previously read savage_page: '251–252'. Leaves read: 168036073_80_12 n253 (stamped 253, ink 127) and n254 (stamped 254, ink 128). Entry verbatim: "1845 = Sbre 26 = Monterey. / José Abrego á Pico / Sobre pago de libranzas. / Q.e Mellus se resiste á recibir de Larkin los $500 de su libranza, p.r querer plata; q.e por honra del Gob.o, preguntó á Hijar de q.e modo se deben hacer esos pagos; pues q.e hay otras q.e tendran q.e cubrirse. Q.e le resuelva pronto las consultas q.e le remitió. pp 432-3." SAVAGE_PAGE WRONG: the record cites 251–252, but the two leaves bear 253/254 (stamped) and 127/128 (ink) — 251 appears nowhere; verified at magnification on n253 and on n280 that no third number exists in the margins. SCAN_PIN PARTIAL: the document is complete on n253 (heading, body and page-cite, with blank ruling below); n254 opens with a new dated entry (Fran.co Rico á Pico, Sbre 30, p.434 = d424), so the n253–n254 span is overstated by one leaf. SUMMARY PARTIAL: substance is a faithful rendering, but "[William] Mellus" inserts a given name the leaf does not supply (it reads only "Mellus"). Omissions: n253's other content (tail of d421, "tiene pedida una licencia p 429"; Diego Olivera á Pico pp.430-1 = d422) and all three entries on n254 (d424–d426) are catalogued.

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.
