Description | Upon the letter, dated 13 August 1899 and numbered 5, by the State Council, regarding the scale of the church of Arbre (?) Tomb Nuns According to the map drawn up and undersigned by the head of nuns, which has been presented afterwards and a copy of which remains conserved in the municipal office, the church to be constructed would be 23 meter at length, 12 meter at width and 17 meters at height. Even though there is no information in the presence of the municipality regarding the previous scale, this is based on the map formerly given by the nuns to the embassy. However, it was understood from the statement of the nuns’s deputy that such depiction in the previous map was a mistake and the real scale is as is shown in the map presented for the last time. The 4nd of Agustos (1)317 (17th of August 1901). [3 signatures] |
