LS, in Spanish, signed as Governor of the State of Oaxaca, one-page, 8.5 x 12.5, Gobierno del Estado De Oaxac letterhead, December 13, 1847. Letter to the Commander General of the Armaments of the State (Jose Maria Castellanos). In full, “I have had the pleasure of receiving the official letter from Your Excellency, dated the 10th of this month, and am well versed about what is put forth therein, referring to the squad of the Coastguard Battalion of Tehuantepec which arrived to this city. In response, I declare to you that regarding this issue we propose that it will be resolved for you, and that regarding the wardrobe that Your Excellency requests, the corresponding order has already been given to the General Treasury of the State in order that a linen cloth and a hay mattress be ministered to the soldiers of the 3rd company of the Loyalty National Guard Battalion.” In fine, clean condition, with light intersecting folds.

Immediately upon taking office, on October 30th, 1847, Juarez issued a decree, organizing armed companies in outlying districts where he felt state government control was weak in six towns including Tehuantepec. What concerned Juarez was the presence of the Commander General in Oaxaca, responsible to the head of the Mexican government, with federal armed forces at his disposal. He feared that the Commander-General might exploit the deepening and unresolved tensions developing in the isthmus of Tehuantepec to topple his new government. The federal government was still preoccupied with the United States and the Mexican War and could not afford to have any domestic problems, so Jose Maria Castellanos was appointed the new Commander General of Oaxaca and generally supported Juarez.
