". . . Please continue to keep me informed of the doings of the Bourbon party. I can appreciate the inquietude that the rising rumors about the reinstatement of the Bourbon family must be causing you.
". . . Anyway, whatever the future destiny of these States might be, I am convinced that the Sovereign who will rule over them will have to show goodwill toward the Department, and to all those who have cooperated with him in restoring order, and to the good administration. . . .
