Official at the Governor's Office in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the year that Santa Anna assumed dictatorial powers in Mexico; the military leaders at Santa Fe agreed to support his new regime on August 1, 1834, but the coup led to civil war in New Mexico.

A holograph letter is signed and dated: Juan Rafael Ortíz, Santa Fe, November 6, 1834. The printed letter-head reads "Gobierno Politico del Territorio de Nuevo Mejico." It is addressed to the Sr. Alcalde of la Cañada; this is probably the mayor of Santa Cruz de la Cañada, 25 miles north of Santa Fe. The letter is a reply to the addressee about the unspecified matter of concern, which has taken avery serious turn.
