[3]pp., printed on a single folded sheet. Folio. Contemporary ink inscriptions on first and third pages (see description), later pencil inscriptions on blank fourth page. Old folds, browning with slight loss of paper at folds, soiled, dampstained (affecting portion of manuscript annotation on p.[3]), edges worn. Good. A decree issued in January of the second year of independence by the Mexican provisional government (Iturbide was President of the Regency at the time, but had yet to be proclaimed emperor), stipulating increases in the number of Alcaldes Constitucionales for the cities of Querétaro, Puebla, Guadalajara, and the capital, Mexico City. Following the text of the decree is a contemporary ink annotation dated March 8, 1822, presenting this and other documents to the Ayuntamiento of Presidio de Rio Grande, signed and rubriced by Antonio Elozua. Elozua was born in Matanzas, Cuba, and rose through the ranks of the Mexican army after enlisting in 1802. In 1818 he was appointed governor of Coahuila y Tejas, in which position he declared support for Iturbide's Plan de Iguala. At the time he wrote this annotation, he would have just left his post in Coahuila to become its representative in the First Constituant Congress in Mexico City. He continued in active political and military service until retiring shortly before his death in 1833, when he was buried at the Alamo. Rare, ephemeral evidence documenting the newly independent Latin American country's concern with the mechanics and logistics of government. Not in OCLC. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM38073
