    1790 (Nov 29): Entire letter written from Chagres near Panamá, addressed to Robert Hodgson "if he should stop at Corn Islands" (off the Nicaraguan coast). Without postal markings, but interesting letter in English: "Dear Bob, If this finds you at Corn Islands you will of course see what I write to Capt. Rose or any other Captain that may come there on my account. I am now going to Guatemala on a very good footing, and in a very few months shall be at the above Islands where I think you had better stay and receive some Robinson Crusoe education till you hear from me again. You will of course take under your care all our property, Negroes etc., that is on the Islands...The negro woman Nancy will show you two papers she has got and will tell you the characters of anybody almost that comes her way. You may be sure of better days...Chagres Dec 1, 1790". An extraordinary entire and the earliest known from Chagres.
