Spanish American Patriots

(paraphrased and translated to English)

March 13, 1784
Santa Fe, Nuevo Mexico, Nuevo España

Dear Antonio Jose Ortiz, High Mayor of Santa Fe:
As you know, in August of 1780, King Carlos III issued a Royal Order asking each Spanish and each Indian male 18 years of age or older in the Spanish colonies to make a voluntary donation to support the war effort.  I now announce that the hostilities have ceased and that peace has been established, and so order that the donations cease.

I would like to personally thank you and the other contributors for your liberal offerings.  His Majesty is most pleased with your having distinguished yourselves in offering all or a great part of your riches.  Be sure to especially extend thanks to the Indians for this is the first that I know for a fact that have expressed their loyalty.  A total of 3,677 pesos in cash and 133 pesos in the form of grain was collected from our province, stored in the Treasury at Chihuahua, shipped to Havana and then transferred to the colonies.

Signed:
Don Juan Bautista de Anza
Governor of the Province of New Mexico
