each other IN the magnanimous spirit with which
you were pleased to act in the Peiho.
Having done this justice to my own feelings of
high respect to you, permit me, on behalf of the
King, my good and courteous master, to offer the
intended high respect of the accompanying honor
ary passport, translated into Spanish for their Ex-
cellencies the Princes Ambassadors your own IL
lustrlOus guests. The Governor of Panama and
other authorities of Nueva Granada, Nicaragua,
or Mexico, through which their Exeellencies NAV
pass, with the high courtesy of their Spanish
blood, will, am sure, feel themselves honored in
rendering to their Excelleneies the very highest
hOnOrs corresponding to their rank Writing as
do, Spanish with as much facility as DO English,
the exhibition of my translation may prevent your
officer from being misunderstood by those author
ltes when he announces the arrival of the Potc-
hafaR.
take the liberty of sending the passport through
you that you may suppress it. if you think it
wrong to present it to their Excellencies. Coming
under the flag of the United States, and as AM
bassadors to the President, they free to go,
as they were welcome to come; and beg YOU to
understand that the King has permitted me to offer
the passport merely to secure to them proper re-
spect IN the countries where the Spanish language
is spoken.
The high American authority Elliot declares il
to be usual for Ambassadors and other public min
listers to possess passports for that very purpose.
Finally, let me assure you it has been to me a
very great pleasure to renew with you here, rs q
U. ). Admiral, an acquaintance which commenced
in COqumbO, while you were a Lieutenant with
Captain Downes of the Macedonia, whom knew
intimately.
Hoping that on some other occasion YOU will visit
this Kingdom, with more leisure, and be my guest
at ROsebank. as my friends Captain Gardner of
the VGndG3id and Captain DOrnin of the Portsmouth
did me the honor of being, each for a few weeks,
and with best wishes for your health and happi-
ness, remain ever, my dear Admiral,
Your friend truly and
Respectfully
