Rev A Brandram No.43
Mexico 5th June 1830
My Dear Friend
This is the last letter I shall write you from this city, and perhaps from this country. I leave Mexico for Veracruz today, and thence to England. The determination to leave this place was taken on the 11th of last month, and all my luggage was on the road to Veracruz when I received your letter intimating the propriety of retiring, or something to that effect. I had intended writing you more at length respecting the cause of my retirement from this place, but the time I have allotted for that purpose Providence disposed off otherwise laying me under indisposition. If I reach Veracruz in time for the packet I shall write you again. Mr. William Jones will call upon Mr. Tarn soon after the arrival of this letter and will give him two hundred pounds sterling, which you will be so good as place to account of Bibles and Testaments sold in this place. In great haste I remain
My Dear Friend,
Very Truly Yours,
James Thomson.
