Interesting content "I left Paris, I sailed for Buenos Ayres from which place I wrote you, from thence I sailed for Valparaiso in Chile, on our arrival there the Ship was taken from us by the Spaniards as the capture of Chile by the Patriots of Buenos Ayres, and I was obliged to remain there some time, until the arrival of the Ship "Mary" of London with which ship I went as passenger to Calcutta, I returned to this place as supercargo of the ship "Hercules" of Calcutta....HMS Andromache has been kind enough to forward this letter". Paris arrival (Dec 7) on reverse. A very early and appealing entire, one of the first letters not transported by Spanish mail and ships.
