1822. March 9.
J.B. to Nunez
Letter 2.

You mention Mr. Antonio Arguelles, and as
it seems to me as an old acquaintance and friend
of yours. When he was Minister of Justice, he
received from me a copy of all such of my English works
as I could lay my hands on: no intimation of their
ever having reached him did I receive. In this state
of things, a friend of mine, then at Madrid, Edward
Blaquiere, to whom I had sent a great, perhaps the
greater part of them, had the generosity to deprive
himself of them, and spontaneously transmitted them
as a present to Mr. Arguelles, by whom, if I have not
been misinformed, these too have been received. Having
received this parcel of superfluous matter
through a plain mistake, Mr. Arguelles can not surely
have any difficulty in assigning these it over to you
at this my request. I sent him, long after that, through
the Spanish Mission, a copy of my "Elements of
"art of packing as applied to Juries": of this, he
could not surely have any objection to the giving you
the inspection, should you be inclined to look at it,
before I shall have been able to find time for conveying
to you a copy for yourself. You must
I think, have heard before this, of a purchase I desired
Mr. Bowring to make of 100 copies of your
Espiritu de Bentham, for which I have paid, by
payment of a Bill drawn on me, by him for that
and other things: I hope the impression you have
made of this your Letter to me, is such as to enable
your Bookseller to furnish me with a hundred copies
of the it he shall be faithfully paid the price of them.
By means of the connections Mr Bowring has left at
Madrid, and in particular by Mr. Mora, and the Englishman,
Mr. Simpson, you will be able to learn the
most prompt and convenient means of conveying them to me, a small packet of them would be faithfully conveyed
to me by my friends of the Spanish Mission here, if you could get the means of conveyance from your office for Foreign Affairs. The envelope might be directed to Don Diego Colon, Secretary of Legation here.
