The Epistolary between Miguel Miramón and Concepción Lombardo encompasses the years of 1832 to 1867 between the general Miguel Miramón with his wife Concepción Lombardo.
Apart from the sentimental exchanges between Miramón and his wife, this Epistolary is a rich source of information of the daily life in Mexico during the 19th century. Incidentally, it paints an image on the life of the general and serves as an essential historical document on the achievements of Miguel Miramón and Concepción Lombardo.
An example can be seen in this letter of the general to Concepción:
[...] Trece dias llevo de haber ocu/pado esta Plaza [de San Luis Potosí] y hasta hoy he tenido el placer de ver las letras, creme vida mia que he pasa/do muy amargos ratos y que cuando todos ó los mas envidian mi pericia yo me hastío y fastidio por lo que padesco ya por falta de tus cartas [...]. Te suplico me escribas pues de lo contrario no es vida la que llevo. Saves que te adora tu, Miguel.
([...] It has been thirteen days since I occupied this Plaza [of San Luis Potosí] and until today have I been able to see the letters, believe me my love that I've been having some hard times and that when everyone else envies my expertise I get tired, therefore I suffer when your letters don't arrive [...]. I plead you to write me otherwise it is not life what I live. You know I adore you, Miguel.)
The letters also frame historical events like the French intervention in Mexico and its effect in the personal life of the general:
[...] La invasión francesa nos obliga á separarnos Hoy 24 de marzo de 1863 [...] que Dios nos permita volvernos á unir para gozar de las delicias de la vida [...].
([...] The French invasion is forcing us to separate Today 24 of March of 1863 [...] that God allows us to reunite to enjoy the delights of life [...])
The years of the regency of Maximiliano I of Mexico and Carlota Amalia of Belgium, Miramón was a diplomat in several European countries, and these are described in this same epistolary.
Perhaps one of the most interesting letters is his final letter to Concepción before his execution in Querétaro decreed by Benito Juárez in 1867:
[...] Ruegote tengas resignación te cuides para la educación y colocación de los ni/ños para que quites a Miguel toda idea de venganza y que pienses algunas veces en quien tanto te ha hecho sufrir pero que mucho te a amado [...]
([...] I implore you to take care of the education and placement of the children so that you take away Miguel's idea of vengeance and that you think of the one who made you suffer but who loved you very much [...])
Concepción of Lombardo wrote her Memories, where she includes fragments of the letters from her husband; these letters help Concepción create a piece that describes at length the events that ended in the fall of Second Mexican Empire.
