1820 Decr 11 Sent 19th
To Blaquiere

Decr. 11th 2 P.M. Yours of the 4th instant has just been
brought to my house by Mr Moore. Unfortunately I was absent on
my every mornings 3/4 of an hour walk. Mine of the
15th Novr (17th I believe was the last date) did not reach
you till the 25th: if you were at Paris when it arrived then
this seems a clear proof that it had been delayed for the
purpose of being opened and read. Again: mine of the 20th did not
reach you – you being then assuredly at Paris till six
days after date: this seems another proof; considering the
shortness of the time which the Newspapers take. It seems
but too evident probable that the French government have got scent of
the whole of my correspondence both with you and M. and
have read my letter to you and yours to me, and suppressed
a number of my letters to him perhaps all that
wrote through the past in the ordinary way seem those three
long ones which he speaks of in his of the 30th Octr (the last
I have seen of his) and the preceding ones.

Answer to Queries

1. I have never heard anything from or of Mr. Augustus Arguelles.

In one of my letters to M. perhaps in a duplicate sent by the Two Brothers I certainly took measures for
endeavouring to recover from him those of my work that you
sent him: either in my own name or as from somebody
else I suggested work for the application. In my last
letter to M. that went from here I hope through a safe
channel (date 8 Decr) I expressed my surprize that
things sent under such a misconception should not have
been returned. In a few days a trustworthy person will
go from here, and he will see you and explain divers
matters vivâ voce.

2. Miscellaneous sent from not received. I have
his: viz 10 March 1820 and 3d June 1820: but these I
believe are Mr Bowrings.

3. Desired Catalogue raisonne of my letters to Mora – Answer
impracticable, if your curiosity can in any way be satisfied,
it must be by a temporary perusal of the brouillon or copies?
will see whether it can be effected in regard to the three earliest and principal
of them. It directs
you will deliver them without fail to Mr. Murdock to be carried on without fail to my Brother.
