SummaryResumen
A letter recounts the San Domingo loan affair: a commission of five was sent to examine the securities offered for repayment, which consisted of the country's revenues, a guano deposit said to exist on the island of Alta Vela, and gold mines. Henry Lawson returned to London persuaded the securities were worthless, yet a very large sum had already been sent to Baez, and the loan, after damaging newspaper articles, was withdrawn and voted a swindle; the account then follows the promoter Hartmont on to New York and the Samana Bay scheme.
Una carta relata el asunto del préstamo de Santo Domingo: se envió una comisión de cinco personas a examinar las garantías ofrecidas para el pago, que consistían en las rentas del país, un depósito de guano que se decía existía en la isla de Alta Vela, y minas de oro. Henry Lawson regresó a Londres convencido de que las garantías no valían nada, pero ya se había enviado una suma muy grande a Báez, y el préstamo, tras artículos dañinos en los periódicos, fue retirado y considerado una estafa; el relato sigue luego al promotor Hartmont hasta Nueva York y el proyecto de la bahía de Samaná.
