Camp of the Union of Telpaneca.  [Campamento de la "Unión" de Telpaneca]

To the Chief of Police, Sargent Major Francisco Galeano.

   I received your communication and I understand what you say in regard to the boys who were sent to you, now they are back here and I have my force is complete.

   Thanks to God I had no wounded men, but the enemy had three dead and one seriously wounded. The wounded was sent to Condega yesterday.

   La Guardia entered Somoto, and it is possible that Gen. Ortez had atacked Somoto, as last night bombs were heard in that direction, one runner came with letters and said that the fire was heard in that direction.

   Another runner said that he heard fire in the direction of Guanacastillo.

   In these days and nights people say that in Palacagüina fire was heard in the direction of Darailí and bomb explosions.

   Please come in the morning so we can get divided.

             Patria y Libertad,

                (s) Coronel Fulgencio Hernández Báez
