1820 Nov. 21.
J.B. to Mora

I mentioned, as a reason for this enquiry, that I
have some friends and correspondents in the Cortes;
and that it was material for me to be apprized
where they might be directed to: and, whether I did
right or no in so doing, is it was that I mentioned
M. Puigblance, Count Torreno, and M. Callatrava:
for from Mr Puigblance and the Count I had seen
letters to Mr Bowring of which I was the subject, and
in which I was spoken of in the most honorable terms:
and, in M. Puigblance's letter, Mr Callatrava was
mentioned, if I do not misrecollect, as a co-operator
with them in relation to me.

My visit to M. de Colomb came about in
this way. I regarded myself as standing in need of
his assistance for two purposes: 1. for transmitting to
you for you to make use of, as you see fit, that unpublished
work of my Brothers that, I believe I mentioned
in my last to you, as the basis of the whole
plan in relation to my Brother: 2. the transmitting
to you, regularly, by the post, if it could be so managed,
the interesting parts of the Traveller and the
Examiner, in which case, you would have and English
Newspaper for every day in the week. For these purposes,
on Monday the 20th, my young man called on him
to request the favour of a visit on some day to be appointed
by him, the earlier the better, between the hours of 2 and 6: his answer
was —he was sorry it was not in his power
to appoint any earlier day that this day Thursday.
On this day, a little before 2, instead of M. de Colomb,
came a messenger, saying, he was sorry he could
not come before Sunday. Which put-off, having been
apprized of the influx of the news from Madrid, I was more sorry
for, than surprized at. To this delay, in the possibility
of giving finding some support for the newspaper project, I
determined not to omitt doing what might be in my power
towards applying a remedy. It occurred to me that
