Domingo Rubi to F. Sepulveda , Secretary, December 24, 1865

[Translation.]

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt from your department of the circulars of the 28th of October and the 8th of November, and of the decrees issued at the last date.

These supreme dispositions will be rigorously adhered to by this State under my command, for in them we see security to the nation, and the responsibility of those who have abandoned the republic at a critical moment and gone abroad.

These excellent decrees have been ordered to be circulated in the districts, and by general order mong the united brigades of Sinaloa and Jalisco.

I make this communication to you for the information of the supreme magistrate of the nation.

Independence and liberty!
