"Si usted accede, pues, a mi súplica, y me promete, bajo su palabra de honor, hacer bien su papel, y no confiar el secreto a nadie, en este caso nada me quedará que desear, y estoy seguro que muy pronto se podrá firmar su obediente hijo el que ahora sólo se dice de usted atento y seguro servidor: Eduardo de Contreras."
