Failure [noted by McArdle]
Oct 19th 1890
Hon. Thos Ryan
U.S. Minister
City of Mexico
My dear and honorable Sir
Your esteemed favor of the 12th
ult. was duly received for which I
thank you. I have anxiously awaited a
communication from the Hon Minister
of War to whom you referred my letter
of inquiry in regard to uniforms[,] flags[,]
arms[,] etc.[,] of mexican soldiers—in
1836. The labour of years is awaiting
this detail which if incorrect would
— to many — harm the entire work.
This fact I trust will excuse me if
I ask that you again — see the Hon
Minister — and endeavor to obtain from
him this information so essential to the
completion of my work.

1874 from the City of Mexico in
