To Mr. Alvaro Obregón, President of the United Mexican States:
Great and Good Friend: I duly received your letter of December 1, 1920, in which you were so good as to inform me that, having been called by the will of your fellow-citizens to occupy the Presidency of the Republic, you took possession of your high office on that date.
