A scarce 1855 broadside in which Guatemalan caudillo Rafael Carrera addresses Hondurans regarding the perceived malign intentions of their president José Trinidad Cabañas. Honduras with Cabañas at the helm had been in conflict with Guatemala since 1853 and it was Cabañas' stated goal to reunite the states of the defunct Federal Republic of Central America to which end he also invaded Nicaragua in 1854. In this address Carrera states the need to invade Honduras in order to halt the aggressions of Cabañas reiterates his desire for peace and friendship with "true" Hondurans and promises his assistance in reestablishing a reasonable government in their country. It reads in part:<br /> <br /> "En esa contienda las simpaticas del pueblo de Guatemala vecino y hermano vuestro no podian ser dudosas. El General Cabañas no contento con haber estado de mucho tiempo atras fomentado y auxilando la guerra desastrosa de la montaña en esta República invadió á mano armada nuestro territorio no teniendo comprometer la suerte de muchos hondureños arrancados á sus pacífcas ocupaciones. En estas circunstancias habeis vuelto los ojos á Guatemala y requerido su amistosa cooperacion para ayudaros á establecer en Honduras un Gobierno regular que consagre sus esfuerzos á la mejora interior de todos los ramos y al mantenimiento de las buenas relaciones con los Estados vecinos."<br /> <br /> A somewhat tattered copy but not in OCLC. unknown
