Bourbon, Carlos de, Royal Quarters La Reyna, to General Baron de Castella, Switzerland, 1874 September 24

Knowing that the General is passing some days in Switzerland Carlos asks him to do some work for his cause. As he is acquainted with his conditions he asks him to inform the French, English, Germans and Swiss of the true state of his affairs, contrary to the false notions that have been spread abroad. His friends are generally the Catholics of all classes. He fights for the Catholic liberty as well as for his place on the throne. He is alone against the coalition. Thus, he has the sole claim on the aid of all who desire to preserve religion and society. Included also is a part of the process verbal of the international Catholic Assembly held under the presidency of the Bishop M. Caspar Mermillod, to the effect that the cause of Don Carlos is the cause of all Catholics and that he is therefore worthy of all Catholic aid. The original was certified by Firmin Collet as secretary to Mermillod. :: II-5-f Copy of Document 3pp. 12mo.
