Govr Zavala Mr. Vehlein and Mr. Burnet each retain large in- terests in the Company and will use their best endeavours for the promotion of its interests.- We cannot however but express a wish, that there was a toleration as regards religion in that Country, many of the best farmers, who are not Roman Catholics would remove to it, were it not for the fact that they must become Romanists in their religion, and we hope soon to see a more benign feeling in the Government towards North Americans- The Government must be satisfied by this time that the United States have not had any disposition to take the Country by force of arms. • The class of men that would improve the face of that country more than any others would be the hardy yeomanry of the ·New 'England states. We now contemplate to send in their place Euro- peans to comply with the Contracts but we hope the time is not ·far distant when a more friendly relation will exist between our governments:..... We shall be glad to hear from you any suggestion that will tend to our individual and mutual benefit- Our Co- Trustee Mr. Sumner is at Boston at present, and we avail ourselves .of the present opportunity by lifr. Treat to make this Communica- tion to you which we trust will be met with a corresponding feeling on your part. and remain very respectfully AN'.rHY DEY No. 27 Nassau St GEOIWE Cunns No. 17 Hanover-Street
