State Papers, Missions and Colonization, tomo I · BANC MSS C-A 52, document 34

Previously uncatalogued — recovered by the 2026-08-27 coverage audit: the document lay inside the declared span of a grouped entry covering n205-n225, which had passed every completeness check while concealing it. Heading verbatim: '+ 1785 - Ag.to 1 - S.n Fran.co / Ramon Laso de la Vega' [= 1 August 1785, San Francisco. Ramon Lasso de la Vega. (Recipient not named on the leaf; from the volume's run of comandante-to-governor returns I infer the governor or comandante inspector, but that is inference, not something I saw.)] Full body as written: 'Segn revta hecha hoy a la Compa de Cuera de este Presid, solo hay uno, qe es Claudio Alvires qe se encuentra en el Pueblo de San Jose.' That is, by the muster (revista) taken today of the leather-jacket company of this presidio, there is only one man [absent, or one of some category the heading does not restate], namely Claudio Alvires, who is at the Pueblo de San Jose. The entry is short but it is a dated San Francisco presidial muster return naming a single soldier and placing him at Pueblo San Jose in August 1785, which is directly usable for the San Jose corpus and for the San Francisco company roster. NOTE: the leaf does not say what the 'solo hay uno' is one OF; the heading line gives no subject. Reading it as an absentee or detached-service return is inference and should be resolved by reading the leaves either side of tomo p.581 before the record is published.
