J.B. to Mora

I see no chance for Spain unless the Ministry of 42
so call upon the people and to Army for captain. If my
letter can be published is in of, there is being published, not such a great
I realize there can be no use in my liberty thinking of Spain any
more.

What you tell me about the necessity of an oath,
I had suspicion of from theroy: but, as suspicion is not
certainty, my abortive experiment was made. In our dealings with men, irrationalities being too various and too fugitive to be foreseen, and at V
with certainty, and, at the same time, the degree of theis prevalence, the supposition one is forced to make is that
of rationality: and thus it is that failures are so frequent
and so inevitable.

The order of the day with me is always —"Rid
yourselves of Ultramaria". In my letter to the Portuguese,
I should have inserted a list of the topics, about 17 in number,
had time permitted: perhaps I may in a second letter by
next post: perhaps also in this to you if there be room: the
rather, because it is but too probable that the work will not
be finished before the time when I might have the benefit
of your reflections on these topics.

While this is reading over to me comes an obliging
note from "Le Chevr de Colomb", offering to take
charge of "any letters of pamphlets" to you. I believe I
shall avail myself of it, notwithstanding the danger that
this may be out of the frying pan into the fire: I don't
mean here, but in France, and at Madrid in the office of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
