After Following the example of Lycurgus, the Protector ( some
of his friends here) — the Protector, after having established
order in Peru, introduces in his vocabulary to invest by
order, will bid adieu to the country for ever. If indeed
he follows that example, allowance made for the differences
in the state of the human mind as the time passed, his name
will share immortality with that of the G Le
Lacedæmonian Legislator Legislator of Lacedæmonia. If, on the other hand
Julius Caesar he be in design a Caesar, may that
Caesar, if nothing less will suffice, find a Brutus, is the undissembled wish of

Though you can
scarcely have a less
agreeable one any
where, you have can not
have a more sincere
friend in any one than
in me. For many
months past had I been flattering
myself, with the
hope of folding the liberator of Peru, much about this time, in my embrace. How sadly have all such hopes been 1 dashed to the ground.
