Benito Juarez, to Don Antonio Ochoa, Nov. 28, 1865.

Chihuahua, Nov. 28, 1865

Mr. Antonio Ochoa

My dear friend,

I am writing a few words to tell you that all is quiet around here. In the rest of the Republic, insurrection is becoming general and although they say that the French are returning here, they will remain here less time than before because luck is abandoning them.

Very truly yours, Q.B.S.M.

Benito Juarez

It is reported also that they are returning to Atlalcotlan (?) Warn Rubi and
Corona so that they may fell back on Culiacan, if the report is true so that
they may be on the lookout and can send scouts out to the mountain roads.
