- Previously read summary: 'Monthly Apr; Fr. Landaeta reports ship near Farallones; body near Punta de Reyes'; orig_page: 'p.23–25'; scan: 'n201'. n201 (stamp 207 / ink 10) carries Arguello on the departure of the artisan Francisco Arriola (pp.31-32), Arguello on the Real Tribunal de Cuentas' satisfactory reply about the costs of conducting three convicts (p.33), and Arguello reporting the FOUNDING OF MISSION SAN JOSE, enclosing Sgt Pedro Amador's certificate of having taken possession of the Alameda site. There is no April monthly report and no Landaeta Farallones sighting on this leaf.
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.
