[UNSIGNED: ¿Sgt. Pedro Amador ó Tte. Sal?] → Arrillaga — 'Llegada de Vancouver.' *(gap-recovery 2026-07-05 — was highlights-only)* — 'Ayer al meterse el sol entró en este puerto la fragᵃ de S.M.B. nombrada la 'Descubierta' (sic) del mando del Capᵗᵃⁿ de navío Dⁿ Jorge Vancouver, quien fondeó como á una legua más abajo del Presidio frente del parage que llamamos la Yerba buena'; Vancouver's packet forwarded same date to Bodega y Quadra ('le espera en San Francisco, ó con su aviso pasar á Monterey'); provisions = fresh meat/verdura/leña + flour, menestras, ship timbers; 'le he ofertado mi persona, casa, y cuanto en ella hubiere'; the soldado Alejo Miranda put aboard as práctico (name crop-verified). Ends: 'Sólo siento el hallarme tan falto de fuerzas con solo un cañón, y éste reventado' (the boundary-letter formula). Unsigned — Savage: 'se cree sea del Sargᵗᵒ Pedro Amador, por [quedar] encargado del Presidio'; pencil: 'más probable es que… Sal.' ⚠ letter's 'ayer' = 13 Nov vs Vancouver's journal 14 Nov — don't harmonize. → the Bodega primary sources #105, the Sal papers
