James Miller, BFSS
Santiago de Chile, 12th. March 1822[1]
Dear Sir,
I beg leave to introduce to you General Paroissien. Were I to recommend him to you as I ought and wish to do, it would detain me long. I shall only say, that he is a most earnest promoter of Education in South America. He is a gentleman who brought me the invitation I spoke of from Genl. San Martin, of whom he is the intimate friend.
I remain
Dear Sir
with great respect
your most obedient servant
J. Thomson.
