"To the sensible town of Mexico. A Proclamation." States that Americans are not enemies of peaceful Mexicans and respect their religion. Discusses martial law and the power of the army to prosecute offenders. Also mentions that all food and supplies needed by the soldiers will be paid for in full, as opposed to how guerillas have ransacked villages and stolen property. Adds that vendors will have the protection of the U.S. Army. Duplicate of GLC04070.
