[ Cuba; slaves; Gulf of Guinea ] Secretarial Letter Signed "Augusto Ulloa" of the Ministerio de la Guerra y de Ultramar to the "Gubernator Capitan General de la Isla de Cuba" (Francisco Serrano with a signed note in his hand).

Author: 
Augusto Ulloa, Ministerio de la Guerra y de Ultramar [presumably Augusto Ulloa y Castañón (1823–1879), Spanish lawyer, politician and journalist )
Publication details: 
[Printed heading] Ministerio de la Guerra etc., Madrid, 7 March 1860.
£400.00

In Spanish. Two pages used of four, cr. 8vo, bifolium, writing seeped through but text still legible. Ulloa's secretary has written on the right half of the two pages, Serrano a note of 13ll on the left on p.1. Apparently Ulloa is suggesting that freed Slaves ("emancipados") should be used to populate (colonise) Spanish Colonies in the Gulf of Guinea.
