In part (translated): "To the Vice President of the Republic of Costa Rica, My great and good friend: I have a great and happy satisfaction in telling you that on the 20th of the last month was born a Princess to whom the names of Mary Isabel, Francisca de Asis, Cristina, Francisca de Paula, was given…I am [also] pleased to reiterate my true friendship and esteem."
