much service TO you, ard viii have their due

| Congress to carry out my grant TO become
law. ! sincerely hope your Excellency will see
the urgent necessity to despatch this important
object, on which the interest and welfare of
Mexico depends My line of communication

the armies that can be put in the field against
the revolutionists, and enable you to crown
yourself with laurels.

of Your honorable Minister residing in this city,
and sincerely hope it may reach your Excellen-
