Note 10 — Chapter XVI · ARGENTINE-CHILENO ALLIANCE. 1817.
William Pilling translation
It appears that Condarco, when in London, purchased the ship Cumberland, mounting sixty guns, for 160,000 dols., giving an order for that amount on the Government of Chile, and paying as a deposit 25,000 dols., which sum, being returned to him on payment of his draft, he placed in the hands of someone in whom he had confidence, on account of O’Higgins and San Martin. His confidence was misplaced, his English friend lost the money in gambling on the Stock Exchange, and San Martin found himself penniless when he landed in England in 1824.—Tr.
