Explore "Mexican Pride and Commissioner Cabrera" by José Juan Tablada on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE letter which the Mexican commissioner, Luis Cabrera, has not long- ago addressed to "The New York Times," is a precious document for the history of the international relations between the United States and Latin-American countries.
This letter is "representative," as Emerson might have said, and is. greatly so, since it reflects not only the soul state of the Mexican people, visible under the present critical circumstances, but also the latent characteristics ready to manifest themselves on the slightest pretext, of all the peoples of Spanish America, which besides having identical origin with Mexico, the same blood and similar racial factors, the common ties of legend, religion and language, also have the same thought and the same heart.
