'Representación en que estos solicitan tomar las Armas, para Castigar las depredaciones bajo el auspicio del Pabellon de las Estrellas, á los Mejicanos que con pretesto de defensores de la patria han desbaratado el Territorio.' They state that on presenting themselves to 'el Com.te Americano' he lavished attentions on them; that the Mexicans, unashamed by 'el escarmiento que han sufrido por las armas Americanas', now war not on the Americans but on their property, carrying off what they can and destroying the rest; they prostrate themselves begging aid 'por que de lo contrario van á perecer.' [Recipient named only by title; the American commander is spoken of in the third person, so the addressee is a distinct authority — identification uncertain]
