Peticion
de los Habitantes
Petition
of the Inhabitants of
Teneha
to have an Ayuntamiento.
Received
from YNGHA/Karen Mazock.
This copy was so light that it was barely legible. I spent hours
penciling the letters in and reading the copy over and over again to get a
clue of what the next word might be. Spelling of names are as close as
possible that I could read, but some remained completely illegible.
