Alcalde of Jalapa

It has been impossible for me to get any money to pay the loan you have assigned me; that is due to lack of money in circulation; but I could get twenty pesos. Please receive that amount, which I have the pleasure to send you with the bearer José María Licona. In case you accept it please give a receipt to the bearer.

Your affectionate servant,

/s/ Adela Acuña, Corozco.
