✓ VERIFIED vs scan n58 (2026-07-06): '1833 Julio 27 Mont… sobre buques rusos, y franquicias que piden'; 'Wm A. Gale ha presentado, á nombre del Gobno de Sitka, una solicitud pa que un buque ruso entre á Sn Franco en busca de sal, y pa salar carne y que la entrada sea sin pagar derechos de toneladas' — all confirmed. 'Sobre buques rusos, y franquicias que piden.' William A. Gale, on behalf of the Government of Sitka [RAC], petitioned for a Russian ship to enter San Francisco to get salt & establish a salting operation (saladero), duty-free on tonnage; González refused per the arancel pending govt approval. Argues ships should buy meat from residents, not run their own saladeros (else 'se agotarán los recursos á los hijos del país'). Urges quick resolution — the whalers are about to winter and the Russians to buy wheat; opinions 'divididas… á favor y en contra de los balleneros y rusos' since many think them useful for consuming the country's surplus (esquilmos).
