Washington 18[[superscript]] th [[/superscript]] January 1825 Sir I have the honour to acquaint you that I received in due times your letter of the first of December informing me, that the Columbian Institute has appointed me his corresponding member. Official business has impeached me to answer you sooner; but you can assure the Institute, that I am truly sensible of the honour, they have done me, and that in fulfilling my dutties I will never forgett so greath favour bestowed on a person so little worth of. By the third session of the seventh article of the Brazilian Constitution it is prohibited to accept foreign condecorations,
withouth special permission; but I hope that in this case it will be forwarded to me cheerfully, the present being conceived as made by a respectable corporation of a very greath Nation. I have the honour to be Sir Your most obedient Servant J[[superscript]] e [[/superscript]] Silvestre Rebello Asbury Dickins Esq[[superscript]] re [[/superscript]] Secretary of the Columbian Institute.
