Correction to this entry.

Previously read scan: 'n50'. Leaves read: bancarchca_82_05 n50 and n51. SCAN_PIN WRONG: n50 (stamp 49) carries the Burnett ACCEPTANCE and the Van Buren/Stockton letter; the resignation is on n51 (stamp 50 / ink 50), which matches the recorded savage_page '50'. On n51 the entry reads verbatim: '+ 1849 Oct. 18 San José / Peter H. Burnett - to Gov.r Riley / Resigns his position of Judge & Presid.t of the Sup.r Trib.l of Cal.' — author, recipient, place, date and summary all confirmed; the parenthetical about his November 1849 election as governor is flagged context, not a claim about the leaf. ORIG_PAGE correctly '—' (unbound papers, no original-tomo citation). OMISSIONS: the leaf's other entry ('+ 1849 Nov. 7. Kelemus Riv.r (Willow Bar) / P. M. Foley, Alcalde - On Gulches & their distrib.n for mining') is ca63 doc 130.

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.
