The opinion here is that the present administration will sustain itself, tho on this subject I have not as yet been able to get much information. I am told that Teran is a. very credulous man, and believes every- thing he hears, if so Jorge may mislead him for a time, but if the colony stand to their posts, he will soon be undeceived. This letter must only be seen by a few. After I take my seat I will write to several and give whatever news there may be of interest. Be very cautious about inserting remarks in the Gazette, say nothing about Muldoon in the paper as yet. By Chambers I will write you more fully- he will leave in about a week, he is in trouble- the Tribunal has thrown obstacles in the way of receiving him....as a lawyer- they are of a frivolous nature. My opinion of Chambers is very good-he can be usefull in that country. What has passed will be of great service to him. I send the grey horse by Jose Luis, and the other horse and mule by Chambers-I should loose them here- s. F . AusTrN [Rubric] [Addressed:] Al Sor D 0 Samuel M.
