1810 (Nov 3) Entire letter from Mexico City to Veracruz, bearing “MEXICO” straight-line hs in black, including very interesting comments about the War of Independence which broke out one month and a half before the date of this letter (spelling and grammar errors in the original text): “Aqui dudamos el destino que han tomado los ynsurgentes, se cree ayan retrocedido sobre Toluca pero otros opinan ayan desfilado por tierra (…?) sobre Puebla: de todos modos años van de vida; esta capital oy es el mejor puesto de seguridad (…?) que ayer el Reyno un sin igual jefe bela sin cesar, dos mil Patriotas ymbencibles no cesamos en nuestras fatigas y el Pueblo esta muy adecto a la justa causa; esta capital (…) todos seguimos guarnecidos con tropas (…?) artilleria Patrioticas e Yndias entusiasmados que balen por mil cada uno (…) estoy de guardia y boy a salir de Patrulla, ace cinco dias que solo me apeo del caballo pa. comer” (sic); a fascinating historical letter.
