No one can imagine with. what pleasure I received my clear Brothers letters, from Mexico, and Qeretaro of the 15 and 23 of last month; the very Idea of your having left Mexico and that I shall have the satisfaction of giving you· an embrace in course of a few weeks, I can assure you alters very much the muscles of my face and removes that "pesadt~mbre" _that has attended me for the last twelve months; ):ou wish me to give you all the news; At present I am void of information that would be interesting to you I had communicated to you everything of note in letters sent to the care of Andi;ews in Satillo, which I hope you will receive when you arrive in that place-There remains some business to be transacted in the city of Monclova, which if you can attend to will save some trouble. In the year 1822 Dr Victor Blanco the Brother in law of Musquis jn Comp 1 • with Dn Franco Madero of the city of Monclova went to New Orleans to purchase goods-Madero and Musquis returned in the sloop Only Son owned by J. Hawkins, on their arrival in this place, Madero not being able to raise the money to pay his part·of the freight (which nmminted to 450 dollars) gave his note payable in 60 days, with Trespalacios as security after the expiration of some months,· L. Hawkins to· whom the note was given, called on Trespa.lacios for the money he did not find it ·convenient to pay it as Madero had not remitted him funds to do so the Business rested so· untill L. Hawkins left this, he pttt' the ·note in the hands of an 11,0'ent and partner, a Mr Dimitt, for collection .he immediately pre- o . , . sented the note to Trespalacios, who refused to pay it and stated as his reason that' Madero h·ad not sent him funds to do so with; and that he ·was about to start' for Monclova· and wouid convi':ru;:e·'Sor. Madero that he was not bound to pay it. Mr Dimitt accordingly for- warded on the note by D 0 Alexandro Trevino, to· D.;:.Victor.~la_nco . . ' . . . .
