1927 SIGNED letter GENERAL ALVARO ABREGON President of Mexico assassinated 1928

Description

You are bidding on vintage & very RARE General Alvaro Obregon (President of Mexico from 1920-1924) signed letter from 1927...he died in 1928.
There are folds in the letter which is normal. There is a ink stain to the mid-left but does not ruin anything. There was a pic from a paper attached to letter as well. Look close at the autograph to see for yourself what condition it's in (I believe it's in EX+ condition). Everything is pretty clean.
This item is an amazing piece of Mexican history... Obregon was assassinated 1928 as he was trying to become re-elected as president but some allies opposed this. Obregon won the election and the evening he was celebrating, he was killed. Please read more below.
This should be matted and framed so it could be displayed with the rest of your political & historical collection.

Thanks and good luck....and below is more on the former Mexico President:
Álvaro Obregón
, (born Feb. 19, 1880, Alamos, Mex.—died July 17, 1928, Mexico City), soldier, statesman, and reformer who, as
president
, restored order to
Mexico
after a decade of political upheavals and civil war that followed the revolution of 1910.
Though Obregón had little formal
education
, he learned a great deal about the needs and desires of poor Mexicans from his work as a farmer and labourer. He did not take part in the revolution (1910–11) that overthrew the dictator
Porfirio Díaz
, but in 1912 he led a group of volunteers in support of Pres.
Francisco Madero
against the rebellion led by Pascual Orozco. When Madero was overthrown and assassinated by
Victoriano Huerta
in February 1913, Obregón joined
Venustiano Carranza
against Huerta. Obregón’s military skill was in constant display as he defeated Huerta’s forces; he occupied
Mexico City
on Aug. 15, 1914.
Obregón continued to support Carranza against the challenges of the rebel leaders
Pancho Villa
and
Emiliano Zapata
. He lost his right arm in battle in 1915. During the campaign against Villa, Obregón issued decrees instituting anticlerical policies and labour regulations in the areas he conquered. In addition, he dominated the
constitutional
convention of 1917, and he was largely responsible for the radical emphasis of the resulting document. After serving for a short time in Carranza’s cabinet (1917), he retired to his farm in
Sonora
and for two years was politically inactive. In April 1920, however, in response to Carranza’s increasingly reactionary policies and his attempt to impose a puppet successor, Obregón took a leading role in the uprising that quickly overthrew the president. On Dec. 1, 1920, Obregón was elected as Mexico’s new president.
Obregón managed to impose relative peace and prosperity on his nation, which had gone through 10 years of savage civil war. He gave official sanction to organizations of labourers and peasants. Moreover, his appointment of
José Vasconcelos
as minister of education heralded an era of significant reform in Mexican schooling. Because he appeared too radical, however, the United States refused to recognize his government until the
Bucareli Conference (1923), in which Obregón promised not to expropriate the Mexican holdings of American oil companies.
After suppressing a barracks revolt, Obregón retired on Dec. 1, 1924, and was succeeded by
Plutarco Elías Calles
. During retirement he increased his vast landholdings in northern Mexico and established a monopoly in the production of garbanzos (chickpeas). Again a candidate for the presidency in 1928, Obregón was elected despite another armed revolt, which was quickly suppressed. Shortly after his reelection but before he assumed office, he returned from Sonora to Mexico City, where he attended a small victory celebration. While dining with his friends, he was shot and killed by José de León Toral, a Roman Catholic who held Obregón responsible for religious persecutions.
