Correction to this entry.

Previously read summary: 'Monthly Jan report; no novedad; routine garrison'; orig_page: 'p.85–86'; scan: 'n222'. n222 (stamp 228 / ink 31) carries Goycoechea reporting the death of a soldier's wife of a violent fever (p.83) and Goycoechea remitting the cuenta de tabacos with the year-end inventory and the libranza copy (pp.84-85). ⚠ the 2026-09-03 ca8 review had graded this entry CORRECT; the leaf disproves it.

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.
