1821 Oct. 2
To Toreno
P.S. Before this letter goes to the post, I have
just time to acknowledge the receipt of a second Letter
from you dated Paris the 26th September 1821.
Though what was said of me by our friend was the
without pure result of his own generous zeal, and
altogether without warrant from me, it the consequences which have resulted from it is not in the less but
in the sources of greater degree a source of gratitude
in my mind as towards him, as well as satisfaction and pride in my
own account: for never was declaration more sincere than
mine was, where I spoke of myself as receiving honour
as well as pleasure from such a correspondence. Few things could have contributed more
strongly to confirm me in that sentiment, than the
frankness with of your consent, to that publicity, by
which whatsoever usefulness service use service such a correspondence
may be capable of rendering to that country which is
the object of our common affection will be rendered clear cleared of
all drawbacks the so effectually cleared of the inconveniences,
with which it would otherwise have been clogged.
At the same time, believe me, he it is not
without or upon the sincerest sympathy and unfeigned uneasiness that I can reflect
as it happens to me to do continually as I am doing action to do so continually on the invidious and unpleasant
situation in which it has been impossible for me to avoid
placing you, by the necessarily unwelcome freedom, with which I have all
along found myself compelled to use in speaking of
this production of your illustrious Colleagues. who will For how can
they do otherwise than behold in you the cause of so many strictures, of which,
unless they should be regarded as compleatly unworthy of should they be thought to amount to anything,
notice, sensations of an unpleasant kind a nature very far from pleasant cannot but be the
result? But, in the opposite case, and in proportion to the importance of any of the suggestions which it has fallen in my way to submitt to you, the you love for that
country of which you are the one of the mot conspicuous and brightest ornaments, the more valuable in your
account will be the
indemnification,
which in the character
of a Spanish Citizen
and a Representative
of the Spanish nation,
you will receive.
