ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ITEMS IN THE PHILATELIC REALM.

This historic letter is written by Susan Loring Jackson to her sister in New York asking for assistance in acquiring stamp for her son, Pat's collection. The letter reads in part as follows,

…if you think of it when you see Charles Brace, will you ask him if he has any foreign letters from any place but England, and if he would let Pat have the postage stamps if it is not too much trouble to take them off. I thought he had correspondents in Sweden, Norway and Germany, and Pats book is really very pretty and he wants to have it complete as possible….

We arrived at Sana fee on the 18th inst. after a tedious march of 51 days…since leaving walnut creek we traveled about 300 miles up the arkansas to bentsfort. It is situated in a bout the same latitude of fort leavenworth distant about 900 miles. t is built pretty much in the form of the arsenal near Liberty of unburnt brick - the wall being much lower, there is also an additional wall covering about half an acre for the purpose of keeping their stock during the night or from being stolen by Indians." and after describing Bents Fort on the Arkansas River (the last white settlement prior to crossing over the Mexican border), he also reports on a major loss of horses there…"On the 28 of July we camped about 10 miles below the fort at the mouth of the picket wire [Purgatoire River] a considerable stream which rises in the spanish mountains about 100 miles from where it empties into the arkansas. It was here that a great many had the misfortune to loose their horses and among that number was myself. We arrived there early in the day and the horses about 1500 in number were turned loose in a bend in the river and a guard placed around them to keep them from rambling but owing to their carelessness a few that were permitted to get outside of the guard frightened the others and about 400 brokes, helter skelter and scattered in almost every direction, some across the askansaw, some across the picket wire and some to the plains. Almost every man in the camp was seen running to and from, in a state bordering on distraction for to loose a horse that distance from home, with but little chance of getting another, compelled to keep up with the army or left to the tender mercies of the savages, was enough to distract almost any man.", and the actual capture of the town seemed almost an anticlimax…"Another days travel brought us to the Bagas [Las Vegas?] a small town situated between high mountains containing about 200 inhabitants. We were here informed that the spaniards had collected a force of 1500 men to oppose us but they dispersed before we reached the place. After passing several little towns all of which swore allegiance to our government we came to the pas in the mexican cadilleras where Armiteho the gov of santafee had collected a force of 4 or 5000 men but upon hearing of our near approach they dispersed also. The next day we took peaceable possession of santafee." and ends with…"We are now about 2000 strong and have taken the cannon which Armejo hid in a little town about two miles from where we are grazing together with the ammunition.

My last letter was to California, written just as we were on the eve of marching south, we have just returned after a successful trip through the towns of St. Domingo, Algodone, Bernalillo, St. Felippe, Valencia and Tome, which was the extreme south point of the march, all thee above named towns surrendered without a blow and at Tome, they combined patriotism and church matters together make all together a grand display in the way of torch light, rockets, fire works, crackers all with a smart sprinkling of reveling at Caterva at frequent intervals the church bells rang a chime, the drums beat and volleys of musketry were fired. The affair was brought to a climax by carying the image of the Virgin around the square of the town, at each corner of which her Ladyship was met by an orator, each of whom in tum delivered to her waxen magesty an address in Spanish little of which of course could I understand, but did enough to learn that they were thanking this image for past favors, and emploring her for a continuance of the same. The procession in here wake was immense. r among the numbers and as near as possible to learn what was done. As a mark of peculiar respect, Genl Carney (Kearny), and staff, and some other inferior officers, walked immediately after her bare headed and with lighted candles in their hands. Now I do not think that old Carny was any more excusable for asserting in this worship of the virgins image then Napoleon was for rendering praise to Mohamet and after marching this far under the most agreeable auspices, and the peculiar care of heaven I fear that such acts will result in ultimate misfortune. If not the army at least the progress of religion and truth. This country is as much in a state of ignorance and barbarism, and as fare from religion and morality as the Northern State of Africa." and letter finishes with…"This country must be held by the sword, and will ever be a cause of trouble and expense to the United States. We have just got an express from below stating that Pardes (Genl. Mariano) has been arrested. By his own troops, and Santa Anna once more ensconced in the imperial purple of Mexico.

And they have not seen a Mexican soldier since. When Kearney arrived in Santa Fee he planted the stars and stripes in the center of the Public square. And the Population gave out flag three cheers. The Governor evacuated the place, and Genl. Kearney took up the quarters of the Governor Palace. They have commenced a Fort at Santa Fee 80 men are employed on it and the Mexicans are employed making brick for the same. Genl.
