I'm really glad that I got this out and shared it. This is the final part of the tale as I have it.

My Dear Mr. Clarke.
Since the dreadful murder of poor Macdonald and Guthrie we have had occasion to note and admire the conduct of Commandante Casco, Gefe Politico of Monte Caseros, for the zeal, energy and success with which he hunted down and captured the whole gang of assassins.
He himself worked night and day, and did not rest until he had succeeded. In view of this we have drawn up the enclosed subscription list in order to raise funds for the purchase of some sort of token as a recognition of his services.
As you have already taken the matter up, we trust you will still further use your influence, either publicly or otherwise, to receive the list of subscriptions: the proceeds of same can be forwarded to myself and handed to the secretary of the Committee.
Yours faithfully,
O. Budge.
