General Manuel Echeverría
and Colonel Francisco Estrada:
The persons who have come are Lola Matamoros and
Virginia Tercero, who are undoubtedly our best
political friends. These women bring a letter
from whose signatures I cannot even read as it
is written in pencil with crooked lines, for
which I doubt it and tore it as supicious
because it might have been, and that way no one
can do anything with me. The letter said that he
was not an American and only wanted to have a
conference with me at the place we would say.
My answer will be this: to accept conferences I
would have done it when the traitor Moncada did
it and because you were ot an American makes no
difference, because in our attitude we have no
resolution but to die or conquer and we do not
permit conferences with anyone while the
invadors are despoiling our soil.
General, more or less in those terms should you
answer the letter and I beg you to make the
letter tonight so we can type it tomorrow. I
will take all the precautions of the case. They
would not sell us but they could bring a poison
without knowing which has not done any harm
either.
Patria y Libertad
