Correction to this entry.

Previously read summary: "water-rights dispute — won't let Juan Ávila water his cattle (insufficient water at S. Alejo) (doc pp.968-9)". Leaf read: 168036072_80_17 n247 (stamp '248', copyist's ink '124'). Verbatim (verified at 1.9x crop): '+ 1842 Jun. 20 S. Diego / Gongora al pref. del 2o dist. / Que no permite á Juan Osuna entre ó pase con su ganado al aguaje que media á igual distancia entre la casa de Ybarra y el corral de Osuna sito en S. Alejo por no ser suficiente el agua. p.968-9'. summary_fidelity WRONG: the party refused water is JUAN OSUNA (Juan María Osuna of San Diego), not 'Juan Ávila' as catalogued — the misnamed man is the document's whole subject; the abstract also drops that the aguaje lies midway between Ybarra's house and Osuna's corral. Author, recipient ('al pref. del 2o dist.') and date all match. place PARTIAL: leaf reads 'S. Diego' but the place column is blank (carried as '(San Diego)' in author). orig_page PARTIAL: field holds 'VI' (tomo only) while the leaf cites 'p.968-9'; the page survives in the summary's '(doc pp.968-9)'. savage_page PARTIAL: blank though the leaf carries the ink '124'. omissions OK: the leaf's four items (tail 'Flores Com.te militar de Sta Barb.a p.963-5' = doc 671; Jun 8 p.966-7 = 672; Jun 20 p.968-9 = 673; Jun 15 pp.970-1 = 674) are all 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.
