Two Victoria borradores: (a) argues against posting revolution-partisan officers to California, blaming Ayudante Inspector José María Padrés & the weakness of predecessor Echeandía, and narrates a Los Ángeles judicial-corruption case (fiscal Capt. Leonardo Barroso); (b) 'Sobre socorros á las tropas' — the English brig 'Ayacucho' from Lima (Esteban Anderson, ~$11,000 duties), clothing the troops off customs revenue amid 'nakedness and misery,' permitting prohibited-cloth imports, and declining any personal reimbursement so as not to aggravate the scarce funds

Correction to this entry.

Previously read omissions: a document on the leaf carries no catalogue record. Read leaves n86–n90 of 168036073_80_14 (stamped 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 at top right). n86: '1831. Oct. 27 (Mont.) / (Comand.te Gen.l Man.l Victoria – al Ministro de Guerra – Méx.) / (Este doc. es un borrador sin firma, y no espresa de donde salió – parece ser de Victoria) / Manifiesta las razones por que no conviene que remitan á este Territorio oficiales ú otra clase de individuos, partidarios de revoluciones.' n87 supplies 'las debilidades de mi antecesor D.n José M.a Echeandía' and 'El Capitan grad.o D.n Leonardo Barroso … la causa sobre el despojo y tropelías cometidas en el pueblo de los Angeles contra el Alcalde de aquel Ayuntam.to'. Doc (a) is footed 'pp 112 – 112½' (n88); doc (b) opens on the same leaf '1831. Oct. 26. (Mont.) / (Este es un borrador sin firma ni lugar – evidentemente es del Comand.te Gen.l Victoria al Ministro de Guerra en Méj.) / Sobre socorros á las tropas, y su interes por favorecer á los militares' and is footed 'pp 113 – 4' (n90). Every element of the abstract is on the leaves verbatim: 'el Berg.n ingles "Ayacucho" procedente de Lima del cargo de Estevan Anderson, cuyos derechos importáron cosa de $11,000'; 'ha quedado remediada de momento la suma desnudez y miseria'; 'estrechado á permitir la importacion del paño que es artículo prohibido'; 'No he hallado oportuno que se me haga abono alg.o p.a mis urgencias particulares, procurando de este modo no agravar estos cortos recursos'. Page span 112–114 therefore confirmed (the tomo prefix 'XIV:' is not written on these leaves, so that part of the citation is not checkable here). OMISSION: the head of leaf n86 (Sav p.87) carries a further entry no catalogue record covers — '+ 1842 Nov. 9 Los Angeles. / Ambrosio Gómez. Encargado del Hospital. / p 101.' The neighbouring record ca32-d44 (scan n81–n85, Sav 82–86, orig XIV:1–95) stops one leaf and six original pages short of it, and no ca32 record mentions Ambrosio Gómez or tomo page 101; it looks like the tail item of d44's receipts digest left uncatalogued by an understated span.

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.
