Correction to this entry.

Previously read author: 'return of the unfit stonemason Manuel Dorotea.'; recipient: ''; date_text: '1792–93, Monterey'; orig_page: '—'. Leaves read: bancarchca_81_16 n141 (stamp 142), n142 (stamp 143), n143 (stamp 144). AUTHOR: field holds 'return of the unfit stonemason Manuel Dorotea.' — a sentence fragment lifted from ca54-d101, not an author. n141 heading reads verbatim '+ 1792 = Monterey / Argüello á Arrillaga'; the second act's author on n142 is 'Pablo Soler, Cirujano'. RECIPIENT: empty, yet the leaf heading names him — 'Argüello á Arrillaga'. PLACE: field empty but 'Monterey' is carried in date_text, matching the leaf's '1792 = Monterey'. DATE: summary dates the Dorotea act '(1793 Dec 30)'. The leaf reads '+ 1792 = Monterey' and '+ Diciembre 20. pp = 18 ≠ 19' — at scale=1 the day digit is a plain '2' (single top loop onto a baseline stroke), visibly unlike the double-bowl '3' of '+ Noviembre 30 (2 docs)' eight lines above it; and the heading year is the identical glyph-string to '1792 = Noviembre 18 = Monterey' and '1792 = Diciembre 14 = México' on n142. No 1793 appears anywhere on n141–n143. (The second half, '1792 Nov 18 Pablo Soler', is correct: n142 'Certifica la imposibilidad de Manuel Doroteo Ruiz para continuar como oficial Cantero'.) SCAN_PIN: both described acts sit on n141 and n142; n143 carries nothing of this record (its Nov 30 / Dic 20 / Dic 28 / Dic 20 entries belong to ca54-d105), so the cited span overshoots by one leaf — consistent with the record's own savage_page 142–143. ORIG_PAGE: recorded '—', but the leaf foots both acts: 'pp = 18 ≠ 19' (Dorotea) and 'p = 20' (Soler certificate). SAVAGE_PAGE: stamps 142 and 143 confirmed. SUMMARY: substance faithful — 'De haber remitido á San Blas al aprendiz Cantero Manuel Doroteo, por incapaz para desempeñar su empleo' — but carries the wrong date; leaf spells 'Doroteo', record 'Dorotea'. OMISSIONS: none; the rest of n141–n143 is carried by ca54-d101, d103, d104, d105.

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.
