Mission San Fernando founded at the rancho of Francisco Reyes — ⚠ NOT FOUND in C-A 8 after probing n280/283/285/287/290/293 (2026-07-09): no Goycoechea founding-report letter. Nearest trace: n293 (3 Nov 1797, p. 329) — the escolta diaries now include SAN FERNANDO, proving the mission operating by Oct. The founding (Lasuén, 8 Sept 1797) likely reported via the mission series, not this letterbook. Do not cite a C-A 8 leaf for the founding

Correction to this entry.
- This record was corrected at the manuscript on 2026-07-09 and its summary now carries that finding. AS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED the row described a document that is not on this leaf — anyone who cited it before that date should re-check.
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.
