One circumstance will ere long have of itself the effect
of placing the importance of this Guatemala in its true
point of view in all eyes. 6 It is through Lake Nicaragua
if anywhere that the Juncture of the Pacific and the
Atlantic will take place if any where to any with any considerable
advantage. This is become a settled point. Such is
was the having expressed by Baron Iturbide in his published
works and my intimacy with him has afforded
me occasion to know that the matter is x considered by
him as out of dispute; both in regard to importance and
facilities. Both at Paris and and just at present here the French
has been busying themselves with me on the subject in one form
or another. A year and a half ago I became the
unconscious victimt of mischief by giving letters given to
the Govern let two men who turned out to be x secret secret
Agents of government and at the same time very worthless
characters.
For civil engineering for fortification, with
et caetera upon et caetera capital and that in no small
abundance being necessary, England is of course the only
country to which above all others and the only country we can look to with any
a for such a purpose with any confidence. From our own means we might do
it in time: but times such as these do not render retardation
eligible. We have but to ask and to hear: this I have
good reason to stand assured of. The security
is beyond any that has been or can be given by any
other state: I wan The commission being yet but received
by us from my Government for this or any other purposes
I have not as yet made any direct overture: If it means
x x x, then early communication I am thus making
not I x flatter myself be viewed as a token of the my
respect for the personal character as well as high situation of the
Right Honorable Gentleman I have the honour of addressing: not
venturing
venturing in this x at present any fuller intrusion, Sir, upon your time: but ready, should time permit to x answer all questions without reserve. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant
