As to the £ mentioned in my last, receive it, On Tuesday the 19th instant I sent you an enormous

I informed you that on calling on the Banker Texada he would
pay you the equivalent of £10 £81.10 on account of Mr Bowring. Mr Bowring has written to him for that purpose.

Mr Bowring in pursuance of an offer of his own
That gentleman, in pursuance of a most obliging offer of his
own has I believe already written (his letter gone) to his friend Mr
(or some to be ) of the Cortes, about me: and will write
if he has not to another Member or two. He mentioned Count By this post he will
