1824 Apr. 5
J.B. to Rivadavia

Thus after time accounts of your register
find their way into our newspapers: each time they
exhibit the picture of the only not merely of the greatest Statesman late Spanish
America has produced, but alas! the only one:
and such is the ob in this conception I have found
myself confirmed by every opinion I have heard,
at the same time, never has the pleasure produced by
these cheering acc accounts been followed to unalloyed,
accompanied as it has been with the idea of my having
been cast off by a disciple, if I may take the liberty
of calling you so, of whom I have so much reason
to be proud.

Another incident happened not many months
ago to confirm me in that disheartening .
it From a man of the name of Bevan or Bevans a
Quaker a friend of mine received into then at
Buenos Ayres whether he went on the character of
an a friend of mine received very a long
letter or two which he shewed me: in a one of them he speaks
of some works of mine but without mentioning what – I
believe the Codification proposal was the one particularly
alluded to as having been received at Buenos Ayres
and pronounced unintelligible: We are Much then was
the light in which they were viewed by you was but
too natural a conclusion. By This Bevan was not altogether
unknown to me. I never had any difference with
him: but a short interview or two I had with him
added to accounts received from persons who had assurance of his
suffered to exhibit such a mixture of arrogance
and ignorance obstinacy and negligence as I could scarcely have
not conception of. The disgust he produced was so extensive that
in business that his leaving failed in business could not be matter of purpose to any body.
