Sr. Don Francisco Alvarado to Mr. Henry Baxters
No. 5.]
Camayagua, May 24, 1871.
Esteemed sir: I officially ask protection of your excellency for this city in case of its occupation by the troops of Salvador, which is to be feared; and as I do not doubt that your excellency will be pleased to grant this protection, in virtue of the guaranty of neutrality given by the United States of America, I beg you to be pleased to inform me whether we may hoist the American flag in the public square, as a sign of protection, on the entrance of the enemies and during their stay in this capital.
I subscribe myself your excellency’s most obedient servant.
FRANCISCO ALVARADO.
