TLS in Spanish, one page, 8.5 x 13.25, Liberation Army letterhead, November 13, 1915. Letter to General Genovevo de la O. In part (translated): "I am requesting that you inform General Headquarters of the motives for the capture and detention of Mr. Antonio Herrera, inhabitant of Miacatlan, on the 25th of August of the current year; and of the whereabouts of said gentleman, to the effect that a higher authority can determine what is just and adequate in this instance.” In very good condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds (folds passing through portions of the signature), small edge tears, and soiling to upper right. An important general under Zapata, Genovevo de la O had been a signatory of the Plan de Ayala which codified the leader’s demands in 1911. During this period, Zapata and his rebels were struggling to hold territory against Venustiano Carranza, the leader of another revolutionary faction who had recently gained control of the Mexican government. An interesting piece of correspondence between prominent leaders during a critical period of the Mexican Revolution. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
