Previously uncatalogued — recovered by the 2026-08-27 coverage audit: the document lay inside the declared span of a grouped entry covering n89-n100, which had passed every completeness check while concealing it. Heading verbatim: '+ 1837. Feb. 9. Mej. / Cervantes. / Decreto mandando cesar la rebaja de derechos concedida á buques nacionales. p. 272.' [= Decree ordering an end to the duty reduction granted to national vessels] Withdraws the preferential duty rebate for Mexican-flag shipping. Directly relevant to the Alta California hide-and-tallow trade and to the standing of foreign versus national bottoms at Monterey and San Diego. A 'Duplicado p. 273' line follows.
