Additional Details

The title translates to "An Old Lady Calls for the Death of General Scott." None in OCLC or traced at auction, though the University of Texas at Arlington holds a copy and provides a translation. In part: "An old Mexican woman / with her great liberator / wants to buy from the Yankees / the whiskers of Taylor / . . . Death, at last, to the traitors / death to Scott, death to his people / long live brave Mexico / with all its defenders."
