Note XXXII‑38 — Chapter XXXII · MOSQUITIA, NICARAGUA, AND COSTA RICA 1701-1800.
Reading edition
Diego de la Haya Fernandez is mentioned as governor of Costa Rica on Nov. 10, 1718, and again on July 7, 1722, when his predecessors are named. There is a discrepancy even in the report of Haya himself—in the beginning it is written out in full that he took possession of the government at Cartago in 1718: 'El año pasado de mil setecientos diez y ocho tomé posesion.'
