Mission of Sta Cruz no novedad; asked missionaries about feeding Branciforte pobladores — 'tan maíz no pueden porque no tienen mas de la pura ración para la escolta' ✎ PIN CORRECTED 2026-09-22 by leaf-read: the SUMMARY of this row is CORRECT, and was always correct. The document is Pedro Peralta's letter of 9 May 1797, headed on n380 (stamp 382) «1797. Mayo 9 Sta Cruz / Pedro Peralta a Coronel D.n Diego Borica» and closing on n381 at p.573. The row had been pinned two leaves late, at n382, which carries a different document entirely (see ca8-d551). An erratum written earlier the same day reported this row's summary as not matching its leaf; that erratum was reading the wrong leaf and is itself corrected.

Peralta to Borica, Sta Cruz, 1797-05-09, Provincial State Papers, XV, pp.572–573, Archives of California, C-A 8, Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley.Cite the document by series, tomo and original tomo page, as the literature does; the C-A number locates it in the repository. To cite this catalogue entry itself, use https://archivesofcalifornia.com/record/ca8/ca8-d374.html- Previously read scan: 'n382'; savage_page: '384'; orig_page: 'p.571–575'. ⚠ THIS ERRATUM CORRECTS ITSELF. As first written on 2026-09-22 it reported that this row's summary described a document its leaf does not carry. That was read off leaf n382, which is where the row was pinned. A further read on the same day found the row's document two leaves earlier: n380 (stamp 382 / ink 187) heads «1797. Mayo 9 Sta Cruz / Pedro Peralta a Coronel D.n Diego Borica», and it closes on n381 at p.573. **The summary is CORRECT and always was.** The defects are the scan pin (two leaves late), the savage_page and the page range, all now corrected. The page range additionally concealed a second document: pp.574–575 on n381–n383 are Goycoechea's 28 March 1797 war assessment, which had no record of its own and is now catalogued as ca8-d551.
