- Previously read date_text: '1808-07-01'. Leaf read: bancarchca_81_17 n192 (stamp 193, ink 55). DATE: record has 1808-07-01; the leaf heading reads verbatim 'o 1808 - Julio 19 - Mont.' — at scale=1 the '19' is unambiguous. AUTHOR/RECIPIENT correct: 'José Mª Estudillo ... al Habº J. Estrada'. PLACE PARTIAL: field empty, 'Mont.' carried in the author parenthetical, matching the leaf. ORIG_PAGE: leaf foots 'p. 145' — matches 'p.vii.145'. SAVAGE_PAGE: stamp 193. SUMMARY: substance right (a duplicate certification that four barrels are unfit, 'por no estar su licor en estado de hacer uso, y ser nocivo á la salud'), but two readings are wrong — the commodity is mezcal, not muscatel: the subject line reads 'Devolviéndole cuatro barriles de mescal por estar Adulterados' and the body 'los cuatro barriles de Aguardiente mescal que Vd. presentó'; and the co-signing Princesa commander is 'Ten. de Navío D. Ramon de Móyua', not 'Ramón de Aragui[?]' (the record does flag that name with a query). OMISSIONS: the accounts ending 'Total 6723.7 rs. pp. 136-44' at the head of the leaf are covered by ca55-d223.
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.
