Correction to this entry.

Previously read summary: 'Extracto de revista Feb; notes 4 soldiers sick'; orig_page: 'p.12–14'; scan: 'n197'. n197 (stamp 203 / ink 6): same stretch; no extracto de revista at the claimed pp.12-14.

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.
