Superior Government State Papers, Benicia, tomo XIX–XXI · BANC MSS C-A 58, document 111

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: '+ 1838. Junio 30. Mejº / Pesado, Minºtro de lo Interr. / Decreto sobre la division de la Repubª en 24 departamentos. p. 289.' [= Decree on the division of the Republic into 24 departments] Savage's abstract line records a decree of the Minister of the Interior dividing the Republic into 24 departments. This is the centralist territorial reorganisation of 1838. The leaf gives only the abstract line and the page cite; nothing further about California is stated in this entry itself.
