Gral Manuel Echeverría, San Albino

Do not forget that you should make the trenches on the hill and the most possible. I have news, but do not tell it, that the 100 more Machos reached Ocotal and they say that they are coming to disarm us and that is all they wait for to return because their government is calling them. Be it certain or not it is our duty to be ready in order to get a definite triumph and in such a case if we beat them they will have to declare war on Nicaragua to continue disembarking men.

Patria y Libertad, / s / A. C. Sandino
