General Manuel Echeverría, Camp No. 6.

General Echeverría.

I have already received notice from the boys and they say that they did not attack at 7 as ordered because they were in search of some people they had told them about. They got there at 7 in the morning and at that time the battle began and it lasted only four hours. We had no casualties, only one slightly wounded in the leg. I have already given orders to reconcentrate here for rest. Send me the paper I sent for you to copy, the manifesto where we say that only to a Liberal government will we surrender our arms. I have an idea and I want to take advantage of it.
