Letter
Mariano Escobedo to Enrique A. Mejia , Military Commandant of Bagdad and its dependencies, January 8, 1866
No. 3.
Republic of Mexico–Army Corps of the North–General-in-Chief.
Being compelled to march to the centre of the line for urgent matters of service, I have deemed it best to appoint you military commandant of this port and its dependencies, and this in a vigorous state of siege, with ample powers for its defence, in all matters including those of finances. You will increase your forces by all possible means, acting in everything with fullest powers (omnimodas) and subject only to my instructions and orders.
Independence and liberty! Bagdad, January 8, 1866.
M. ESCOBEDO.
Colonel Enrique A. Mejia, Military Commandant of Bagdad and its dependencies.
