Description

Texas: Jose Maria Bermudez

ALS in Spanish, signed “Jose Maria Bermudez,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 6.5 x 8.25, stamped Comandancia Pral. del Estado de Neuvo Leon letterhead, January 16, 1836. In part (translated): “I have already told Jesus Sepulveda to bring his son in and present him. Because if he doesn’t he surely will be sorry…I beg you to repeat it so this poor man does so. He is a father, and misplaced love causes a thousand excesses…Do not rest in persecution of deserters…He who is drafted must run his luck and should not be protected from it…If any deserter resists, shoot an arm off, or break a leg, so that in this way they will learn a lesson and respect the judges…God and freedom.” In very good condition, with trimmed edge to second page, with a horizontal fold through first two names of signature, intersecting folds, and some scattered light toning (heavier to first page). Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
