In the haste with which every thing I do is done
(for being in my 80th year, the fear of dying before my
assortment of Codes is finished is continually operating
upon me as a whip to a horse) I know not whether
I shall be able to recover a correct list of what I sent
to you on the former occasion or a correct note of the same: or even what I shall
send you by the present occasion, as it is from different
quarters that it will have to be collected; and must pass
through two pairs of hands bender mine before it is lodged on shipboard, nor do I
at present know the
name of the ship.
On that former occasion, thinking it matter of
propriety and necessity to send the President of your
State a copy of my letter to you I did so: that
propriety appearing to me by the abovementioned printed documents
to have ceased, I do not send to any person in
Guatemala a copy of this my letter.
I need scarce not spend many words in
assuring you how sincere my affection is at seeing things
in such a state in your commonwealth: and of my
regrets at the thoughts that nothing which it is in my
power to do (distance and so many other things considered), affords any the least prospect of being contributory
to the restoration of peace and harmony.
Your Cousin having informed me of his intention
to visit Paris, I gave him of my own accord offered to him and he accepted letters
to the four chosen members of the men who, I thought it would be of most use
to your country and him that he should be acquainted
with: namely La Fayette so renowned over the whole
civilized world — the associate with Washington in the
emancipation of the Anglo-American United States:
Julien the able Editor of the Revue Encyclopedique — the
moat meritorious publication in the French language — a work that
finds its way wherever French is read; John Baptist Say the
ablest writer on Political Economy in the French language,
and
and Felix Bodin, a
principal collaborator
in the Constitutional — the
paper of the most extensive
sale on the liberal side.
I have had the satisfaction being informed by him that he was not dissatisfied with the reception he experienced from any of them.
