Sm-
You are I hope aware that my failure to reply to the Complimentary letter, dated Managua March 24th. which your Excellency did me the honor to address to me, on the eve of my expected departure from your Country, was far from being designed as a discourtesy, or from any want of a proper appreciation of the kindly sentiments it expressed- . On the Contrary, you are acquainted with the unforeseen causes which occupied the interval of preparation, and left me at last, but a hurried moment for taking leave- I thank you for the kind wish you express to see me again in Nica- · ragua, and if I were a younger man, I should be tempted to accept your hospitality, were it only to witness the development of your mag- nificent Country, under the benign influence of the arts of peace- As I spent most of my time near the Government at_Managua, and there.fore saw much of its people, in unofficial lire; I desire to return to them, through your Excellency, my warmest thanks for their kind- ness- Th.ey are as warm hearted, & genial as their clime, and their cordial welcome clusters around the stranger in Tropical profusion & fragrance- Please accept for yourself personally, my warmest wishes for your prosperity & happiness- & believe me- Dear Sir- With the highest respect Your obt Servant MIRABEAU B LAMAR 'l'o The Hon Panfilo Osorno Sub Prefect and Judge-Jfanagua Nic- aragua No. 2793.
