'Sobre propuesto viage del 1[er]o. á Méj[ico]' — Vallejo's rebuttal to Alvarado's reproach for not having gone to Mexico City. Full-text (Savage 'O'-marked). His return north was no abandonment: 'dos dias de camino no serán causa p[ar]a resolverme á no cumplir mi propósito'; his trip to the capital would 'dar mas fuerza impulsiva á mi vuelta.' Pledges to inform the Supreme Govt 'todo lo q[u]e con verdad es y puede ser Calif[orni]a… sin mas rodeos ni intereses q[u]e verdades brillantes'; wants to reach 'el Manantial de esta naciente sociedad.' Faults Alvarado's indecision at their interview: 'solo vi indecision y ning[un]a disposic[io]n p[ar]a resolver las cuestiones p[o]r si mismo.' Climax: 'Repito ahora q[u]e el País marcha á su ruina, sino se remedian los abusos, aunq[u]e estos tienen de contrapeso la paz q[u]e reina; pero no será eso mas q[u]e un poco de tiempo de duracion'
