Thread Name: Add/Origins: Maid of Monterrey
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Maid of Monterrey
Many, many thanks, Escamillo.
And thank you, Dr. Ramos Benitez. I am sorry that my poor attempt at translation distorted your messages.
We look forward to a summary of the investigation, and will see that it is properly translated. Is there any indication of her name?

(I don't believe anyone placed the event in Monterey, California. Confusion is the result of mis-spellings of the Mexican city's name on sheet music and in various articles. The sheet music of J. l. Hewitt, 1851, has the mis-spelling 'Monterey,' and this mistake often occurs in American papers.)
