ALS in Spanish, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 6.25 x 8.25, November 24, 1835. Letter to Jesus de la Garza, in which Rosas talks about his assignment. In part (translated): “providing for the 100 men that Col. Ugartechea brought with the object of their joining the troops that the celebrated Jose Juan Sanchez is bringing…if in some way I do not find a man to help me…I believe I’ll go crazy…My spirit is dampened. My will, never …” In very good condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, damp staining to lower portion of letter, lightly over beginning of signature, but not affecting legibility, and light show-through from writing on reverse.
From The Handbook of Texas Online, in part, “Colonel Ugartechea commanded a unit of cavalry that slipped through the siege forces on November 12 [1835] and made its way in about ten days to the Rio Grande to seek reinforcements. On November 26th he guided a force of 454 conscripts and 173 veteran troops from Laredo to relieve the centralist army under Cos at Béxar. Their arrival on December 8 actually increased the burden of supply on the centralist army and helped to precipitate its surrender on December 9th.”
