a fault committed; English frigate 'Discovery'. — NEW Vancouver-fraternization doc. Sal admits he did wrong in permitting Alférez [José] Pérez to travel to Monterey aboard Vancouver's English frigate 'Descubierta' [*Discovery*], and submits to whatever punishment is imposed 'por haber hecho lo que no debió.' Regrets that [Pérez] wrote to the gov. from Monterey but dated the letter from San Francisco — 'probablemente creyó que él (Sal) no daría parte de su ida á aquel presidio.' ⭐ Shows the degree of Spanish–British fraternization during Vancouver's 1792 visit and the command anxiety it caused. → Vancouver's *Voyage* (1798), the 1793 Bodega failure, the Sal papers. ⚠️ Verify verbatim wording before quoting.
