MARQUIS L. HINE TO LAMAR
San·/ose July 1st 1859
l\,fy DEAR GENERAL
I have this moment arrived in town from the "Hacienda" and there is but a few moments before the departure of the mail- you will therefore excuse me, if, in my leave taking, I am brief- I wish you would ascertain in Washington whether they ever read my despatches- I dont think they do-at least no attention is never paid them, & if they are of no use, I should, prefer not to write. I shall expect to hear from you after your arrival in the U. S. and shall be glad to do so always, whenever you may have time and in- clination to write. I presume you will feel an interest in the march of events here, and shall take the liberty of posting you up occasionally I wish you a speedy and happy return to your family- I had hoped to have made their acquaintance here, but you, or Providence, have altered it otherwise, and "I bide my time" under protest. I beg leave to enc1ose a communication for the comptroller, in Wash- ington,-not important-and you may put it into any P. 0. in the U. S.-and for the present, My Dear General, good bye, and God bless you ever yours- Truly Yours &C. MARQUIS L. HINE Please make my respects _to the Commander of the "Cyane" and if he has time, I should be happy to see him in San Jose. H.

MY VERY DEAR SIR AND ESTEEMED FRIEND. I am very sorry that various obligations force me to be absent from this port, today at 3 P. M., since they deprive me of the pleasure of accompanying Your Excellency and the Honorable Commander of the "Cyane," according to the invitation that you had the kindness to send me. I never intended to absent myself without presenting to you my re- spects and friendship, and had the intention of visiting you today, which I shall do at 12, if it does not trouble you at that hour. The sentiments which you are pleased to manifest to me Honorable General, honor me much; •and in recompense of such great kindness, I can only offer you a true friendship and the most profound respect. In answering your appreciated favor of this morning, I take the greatest pleasure, since it affords me the occasion to assure you that I am your most affectionate Servant and Friend. JosE M. CANAS [Rubricl
