Previously uncatalogued — recovered by the 2026-08-27 coverage audit: the document lay inside the declared span of a grouped entry covering n322-n341, which had passed every completeness check while concealing it. Heading verbatim: 'No 4 - Comanda Militar de Sn Diego -' [= No. 4. Military Command of San Diego.] Reply on Carrillo's application for leave to embark at San Diego for the capital of the Republic. The Comandante General's inserted text rules that on the petition 'qe le dirigio el paisano Jose Anto Carrillo debio V. decretar no estar en sus facultades entender en un [asunto]...', that is, the San Diego commander had no authority to entertain it. The body continues beyond the foot of n322. First item of a numbered enclosure series, and the first hard proof that this band is an expediente rather than one document. ⚠ METADATA CORRECTED 2026-08-27 after independent verification: the date and author as first published were wrong. Date taken from the signature block on n323. Author = Pablo de la Portilla, Comandante Militar de San Diego, inserting verbatim Manuel Victoria's oficio of Monterey, 6 Nov 1831 (so 'oficio de 6 del corriente' = 6 November 1831); the referenced ocurso is of 17 September 1831.
