Guichainville informs Brownson of a letter he received from W. E. Curtis. He remarks that it was a singular coincidence that the person whom Curtis mentioned was the same one who four years ago read him an incomplete text. He mentions that the text was translated from the Italian and that he understood it is completely this time in Brownson's work "Life of Columbus". This same person has informed Guichainville that the signature was made by a forger. He points out that the would-be expert intentionally forgot that Columbus wrote two similar letters. Also, that this selfstyled expert was waiting for the document to fall in his hands without any sacrifices or expense on his part. Curtis is going to have a hard time disentangling himself when he Curtis finds out that Guichainville knows of his hypocrisy. He ends the letter with the hope of good news and sincere attachement. P.S. Jealousy and her companion Envy are to be found everywhere. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
