The letter above was drafted by my 5th-great-grandfather Francisco Suastegui on 1 October 1832 in Altar, Sonora to the Vice Governor of the State of Sonora in Arizpe. This translation appears on pages 112-113 of Massacre on the Gila by Clifton Kroeber and Bernard Fontana (U. Arizona Press, 1986). The report describes attacks between local tribes nearby. This also places Francisco in the position of secretary to the Town Council of Altar in 1832, mentioned in his statement quoted in Narciso Botello's Annals of Southern California in 1835.
