Mexico City, 28 December 1867

Señor Don Antonio Ochoa

Guadalupe y Calvo

Dear friend,

without any

[As I have no] letter from you to reply to, I put down these lines for you, with the sole object of letting you know that yesterday I again took possession of the Presidency of the Republic, and that in that post I place myself at your orders for whatever you are pleased to command.

As I have no time for more, I am your most affectionate friend and attentive servant who kisses your hands

Benito Juárez.
