Comisionado del Pueblo

I have in my possession your official communication dated the 7th of this month which reports the nomination of Marcos Chaboya as Alcalde and Antonio Soto and Juan Altamirano as Regidores. I do not agree with the choice for Alcalde and I therefore have appointed the townsman Ygnacio Castro. I have approved the Regidores, whose appointment is attached. Inform them quickly and give the attached appointment to said Alcalde. Instruct him to prepare to meet with me as soon as he finishes his planting.

God keep you many years.
