Sr Gobernador Civil
Acabo de recibir orden que pase á Valencia; mi ausencia era cuestion de dos días, me ocupare de todos los pases y traeré uno para el Sr Gil, nuevo de este año,
Devo ver á V., y que, á de ser para ablar mucho y de interes para el orden y la libertad; que solo tiene un modo de ser; con la Federal. Castellon 22 marzo 1873.
Pedro Roca.
Description
Josep Anselm Clavé received this telegram while he was governor in Castellón.
Pedro Roca informs Clavé that he has to leave for Valencia.
Roca was part of an uprising in the province of Murcia. He was an “intransigeant” republican, meaning that he was in favor of the establishment of the Republic without the need of a Federal Constitution, from the ground up. The Republican party was divided between “intransigents,” “centrists” (Pi y Margall) and “moderates” (Emilio Castelar and Nicolás Salmerón).
