El C[iudadano ?] general Ramon Corona en gefe de las Brigadas Unidas, [sic] me previene dé à V. su representacion à fin de que cuando ocurra para las atenciones del servicio público, lleve V. su propia voz, espeditando así las dificultades que pueda sujerir la distancia à que èl se encuentra de este lugar.

El mismo C[iudadano ?] general ha confiado en el patriotismo reconocido de V. para que admita éste encargo, en el que no cabe duda presta V. un servicio de importancia pública.

Al trasmitir á V. la disposicion del Cuartel general, no puedo menos de escitarlo tambien por mi parte, á que admita el encargo referido.

Reciba V. mi particular consideracion y aprecio.

Indep[endencia] y Lib[ertad]. Guadalupe y Calvo Julio 23 de 1865.
