Naturalization cards issued to Walker’s companions

Colonel Walker. León, June 20, 1855, 5 p.m. Dear sir: Along with the Minister of War, Lic. Buenaventura Selva, I wrote to you yesterday, telling you that he had arranged the business that we had discussed prior to your departure. Now I am writing to you again to tell you that General Mateo Pineda, who leaves tonight or early tomorrow for that city, will bring orders conveying the organization of the expedition of which we spoke in whichever manner possible, according to the circumstances in which we find ourselves. Minister Selva will put in your hands the decree by virtue of which declares you General of the Democratic Army. He will also present you with the dispatch which you have not yet received, and I will send that with the same General Pineda. If it suits you, they can also give the dispatches to the rest of the officials and give the men who make up the democratic body their respective naturalization cards. I will wait for your response before making these decisions. I hope you are well and I remain your dutiful servant q.b.s.m. FRANCISCO CASTELLON.
