2.28 STX MONTHS IN MEXICO. 



man, resident here, I am greatly indebted for 

 his politeness and assistance ; his knowledge 

 of every thing connected with this country is 

 exceeded only by his attention to every 

 stranger who visits it. 



I had little opportunity of forming an 

 opinion of the ladies, except from seeing 

 them in their regular daily attendance at the 

 church of the convent in which I lived : 

 among them were many fine women, whose 

 deportment was most strictly decorous. 



Of the Spanish merchants I can say no- 

 thing : but it is very natural to suppose, that, 

 situated as they are, the arrival of so many 

 English, and the consequent injury inflicted 

 on their trade, cannot be very agreeable to 

 them.
