Miss Jane F. Smith, Director, Social and Economics Records Division of the National Archives stated: '. . . while the handwriting of the note is sharp, its legibility is very poor. However, we do detect two errors in Dr. Tomkins [sic] version of the note cited in your letter. The name at the botom of the note should read "Arguello," not "Aruello," and the second word from the end is "resulta", not ["]vuelta["]. We are unable to verify the words "largado" and "volver" in Dr. Tomkins' version. We agree with Dr. Tomkins as to the remainder of the note. . . . The Nota might then be translated,- "This land is part of a private holding and the southerly extension is that which should be resolved." Arguello.' JBT 5.3.67
