ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA: (1794 - 1876) Mexican general and politician, a President of Mexico who sought to crush the Texas Revolution, seizing the Alamo only be defeated by Sam Houston at San Jacinto. Excellent and especially rare war-date L.S. as President on letterhead of the Private Secretariat of the President of the Republic, 2pp. 4to., Virreyes, Apr. 4, 1847 to Gen. Cosme Furlong, in Spanish. Less than two weeks before his crushing defeat at the battle at Cerro Gordo, he writes in part: "...I suppose that you have arrived at that city and are in charge of the General Command for which I especially recommend that the troops in that city that are ready to march to Jalapa, leave immediately, because we must occupy as soon as possible the gullies and other points that should be fortified, since the enemy is giving us time to do so. Come to an agreement with the Governor in order that he give you all the necessary aid for the aforementioned troops to be able to undertake their march and verify their departure, if possible, within one or two days...". Fine condition. Following Winfield Scott's victory at Vera Cruz five days earlier, Santa Anna assumed command of forces in that state and in retreat established his headquarters at Cerro Gordo. $1,500-2,000
