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 if 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 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:
