[George F. Richards]
We went to the Tecalco Branch, about 50 miles from here at the base of the volcano Popocatapetal where we went to the meeting, but when we saw their program, which was evidently intended to humiliate us and a threat to turn us over to the law if we did not approve their action in appointing a Mission President, we walked out and got out of the Republic as quickly as possible.
