Partly-printed DS, in Spanish, signed “Ant. Lopez de Santa Anna,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, June 25, 1839. Santa Anna, as interim president of Mexico, bestows a citation upon a citizen. In part (translated): “Whereas, by decree of February 11 of this year, the general Congress has awarded an emblem of honor to those who took part in the glorious and forever memorable episode of December 5 of last year at the Plaza of Vera Cruz, repelling French forces that invaded the city and upholding the honor and dignity of the nation, I hereby issue the certificate to: Mr. Jose Oropeza, 2nd Lieutenant of the Second Artillery Brigade…And as a result, I order that all authorities, both civil as well as military, and other individuals in the army accord him the consideration which he deserves due to the distinguished and glorious service which he rendered on behalf of the country.” Signed at the conclusion by Santa Anna and countersigned by Jose Maria Tornel. Intersecting folds, with central vertical fold lightly affecting a couple letters of signature, a few creases, and some scattered light toning and soiling, otherwise fine condition.
