Sir
Since the parcel went which inclosed the letters and papers sent in answer to your the letter to me with which you have honoured me I have heard with the most ardent sympathy and admiration the outline of your political] life, in that speech of yours, with which together with other printed State papers, your Cousin and Agent Mr Herrera some time ago favored me Now, within these few days I have, to my great sorrow, heard translated (for the state of my eyes sets limits of my own eyes to the use I am able to make of them) the papers printed documents, exhibiting which exhibit the act of force committed by the President of your State, and the measures of self defiance and repression taken by what appears to be a great majority of the Deputies of the people.
In Some months ago the parcel abovementioned, in answer to the letter with which you honoured me I sent you Spanish translations of three tracts of mine relating to legislation as also upwards of 200 pages of the proposed Constitutional Code which I am printing for publication in English. I send you by this conveyance as far as 464 pages of matter already printed of the first of two Volumes of which the work will consist: of the outline of it as exhibited by the Table of the titles of Chapters and Sections a Spanish translation was contained in one of the pamphlets abovementioned I will These 464 pages in English will be accompanied, I hope, with near 300 pages of a Spanish translation which at my expence is making by an a hand of high reputation for skilfulness, (the same who performed the abovementioned translation Dr Rigblane member of the late Spanish Cortes) skilfil hand, and to printing for distribution, without hope or probability of reimbursement of any part of the expense. I shall every opportunity of sending you continuations, as the printing advances.
