Guatemala J.B. to Le Raselle

Without Review
To the federal federal congress he was elected a Deputy (it
appears) by and for each of three out of the five confederate
States.
Citadino Herrera a near relation of his
and depository of his intimate confidence is the bearer of
this letter to Paris: it is through his hands that my correspondence
with that country will pass. I have had with
him several conferences of some length: and from all that
I have seen and heard of him I see reason to believe stand assured
that he is well deserving of that confidence. I know better
what is done to you than ever to think of endeavouring to
burthen you with letters of recommendation in favour of
men who have nothing but ordinary and will have things to talk or
that of. But, Guatemala having having till now been as it
were hidden from the rest of the world, there was seems a chance
I thought of your not being displeased to
with the opportunity of obtaining trustworthy answers to any
questions relating to it which you might wish to
propose. It would be a feather in his cap (as we say) if
you would invite him to one of your soirées. If you
had with you an intelligent Spaniard or ex-Spaniard
or a Frenchman to whom Spanish is familiar, it would
be so much the better: for it is not without considerable some
difficulty that he Herrera can explain himself in French: and
in his nature he is every thing that is most opposite to
bold address boldness and assurance self-confidence and forwardness
If the seeds you thought you should be able to find
for me have not been found unfindable, he could be the
barer of them: his stay at Paris not being likely to last
beyond a month or six seeks. His views for himself I
is m m for his cause Del Valle's library:
of being
being directed to the
purchase of books,
which I
Del Valle intends to
employ at his own expence as a public library,
for the instruction of his countrymen.
His seed That the present state of the public throughout late Spanish America is most deplorable is what you[+]
[+] can not be unknown to
any body, a matter of surprise to you
From him went some time ago to
Paris a man of good parts a Guatemalan and of
some talent of the name of Del Barreo but distant
hope or promise sp by made to , and gone off [.]
[¹] with a book he
has borrowed of me.
Do not from this man
judge of Herrera.
After Del Valle comes Bolivar: after him
with big interval Recondavia: after him
done, nobody.
