Biography:
An English businessman who was in Latin America with his brother, W P Robertson, between 1807-1810s. Their Letters were published in 3 volumes in 1839. He met Viceroy Linier´s wife in Buenos Aires around 1808. (Robertson)
He attended Ana María Perichón de O'Gorman's tertulias: "The most splendid tertulias were given by Madame [Perichón]; and I saw congregated, night after night, at her house, such specimens of female beauty and vivacity, as would have excited envy, or commanded admiration in an English ball-room." Perichón gave him a letter of introduction to her brother who was living in Corrientes. "The lady had procured for her brother the appointment of post-master general of the province". He stayed with Perichón and was treated as one of the family. (Robertson, Vol. 1, 176-180, 251-257)
He stayed at the large country estate of 84-year-old Juana Ysquibel, near Asunción.
