J.B. To Mora
Q.S.P. Wednesday 18 Novr 1820
The quarter from whence this comes will be sufficiently known
to you. Names will convey no information to the parties, and
may incidentally give it to this or that individual, by whom
a mischievous one might be made of it.
The following is a mode of communication recommended
as preferable to the ordinary one. To Bowring and Co
