CHAPTER VIII.
IN THE KING'S NAME.
I put up at the Posado de los Generales (recommended by the commandant), and the day after my arrival I delivered the letters confided to me by Senor Moreno.

This done, I felt safe; for (as I thought) there was nothing else in my possession by which I could possibly be compromised.

I did not deliver the letters separately.

I gave the packet, just as I had received it, to a certain Senor Carera, the secret chief of the patriot party in Caracas.

I also gave him a long verbal message from Moreno, and we discussed at length the condition of the country and the prospects of the insurrection.
