A detailed address, with numerous supporting documents, by Guatemalan Colonel Guillermo Perks concerning events that caused him to quit his post as Chief of Staff of the army of the Central American Republic in 1828. His resignation stemmed from orders he received from Guatemalan governor Aycinena during the First Central American Civil War to lead an expedition to Chiquimula (with which he disagreed), the general disorganization of the army during his maneuver, and conflicting orders that he received throughout his expedition. The text gives a detailed account of his experience, and prints two dozen pieces of correspondence at the rear to support his claims. OCLC locates two copies in U.S. institutions, at Berkeley and the Library of Congress.
