Additional Details

Written shortly after Santa Anna returned from exile to lead the Mexican military response in the war against the United States. This open letter was written to his ally General Jose Mariano de Salas, and discusses the social, political, and economic problems facing Mexico in the forthcoming struggle--suggesting that Santa Anna may be the one to solve them. Written from Santa Anna's personal estate, "Hacienda del Encero" [Lencero] in Xalapa, Veracruz. Not traced in Palau or OCLC; none traced at auction.
