My dear Sir.

August 1. 1821.

I pray you to accept my best
thanks for the tracts you have sent me. There is
something in the American Character — I feel it —
that makes us as much interested in "Spanish
and Portuguese Affairs" approaching to freedom as
in our own affairs. I will say almost as much
interested — for sake of the Sceptics under despotic governments
& Monarchies — who believe it not possible —
that a town, or country, a State, or a People, should
care much for the happiness & freedom of other nations.
I believe I need not assure you that I do, and from
your acquaintance with the principles & Institutions of
freedom in the U.S. it will not be a very great
stretch of imagination to believe that we, are interested
in freedom in every Clime & every quarter of the
globe.

I am Dr Sir
your very obedient
J. Adams Smith
