Abstract: Extract of letter sent to Ana María Cotapos during his imprisonment in Mendoza, sometime between 1817 and 1819.
Content:
Only let them send me back to my country as free as when I left it. Only let me stay quietly on my estates and they can be sure that they will not so much as know I´m still alive. If I break my word, I myself will propose the penalty; they can shoot me.
