About this book
A Diplomat's Wife in Mexico is by Edith O'Shaughnessy and presents letters from the American Embassy at Mexico City, covering the period between October 8th, 1913, and the breaking off of diplomatic relations on April 23rd, 1914. A summary line lists items among others Mexican street cries, Garza Aldape resigns and the First official Reception at Chapultepec Castle. A letter dated November 13th says the President was not trackable last night, though N. kept up the search until a late or, rather, an early hour.
The writer lunches with the Ösi-Sanz, described as an agreeable, clever, musical Hungarian married to a handsome young Mexican, in rooms with many Maximilian souvenirs. The text calls a fortress the home of generations of horrors and says San Juan Ulua persists. The text says you do not change Mexican methods by draping them in different banners, and that it is the kind of hand carrying the banner that makes the difference.
