[Translation from the Spanish] Honorable General Dn. l\f. l\I. LAM.AR. Srn,
I knew of your arrival at that port and hoped to have the pleasure of seeing you here; but afterwards I learned that you awaited the re- turn of the vessel in order to continue your voyage to the United States.- This resolution makes me very sorry for selfish reasons only- that is-because it deprived me of the pleasure of seeing you- I shall confine myself then, to wishing you bon voyage; and that you find your family in good health-and asking you not to forget the friendship which your humble servant professes for you JOSE l\I. O.A.N.As [Rubric l No. 2769. :MARQUIS L. HINE TO LAl\IAR San Jose, June 24th /59 My DE.AR GENER.AL-- Wondering for some days past, why I receiYe no reply to my last note, and whether you had found any thing amiss in the same, I am informed by the Comr. of the "Cyane" that you have been sick for several da.ys past, but are getting better. Had I know of your sickness, I should have started immediately for Puntarenas, and only wait to hear from you, to do so, now. I say that I wait to hear from you, for this reason- It has occured to me that the news by the last steamer, and the presence of the "Cyane" in Puntarenas, may induce you to leave sooner than you had intended, :not waiting for the return of the "Columbus," in which event I might arrive "the day after the fair," which would certainly be annoying. Please write me therefore immediately, and look for shortly after- wards. Truly Yours &c
