Typewritten Letter signed, to Garcia Velloso
By Ruben Dario
One page on letterhead paper "Mundial Magazine" typed and signed by Dario in Paris. In 1910, he traveled to Mexico as a member of a Nicaraguan delegation to commemorate the centenary of the country's independence. However, the Nicaraguan government changed while it was traveling, and the Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz refused to receive the writer. However, Darío was received in a triumphant manner by the Mexican people, who manifested in favor of the poet and against his government. In his autobiography, Darío relates these protests to the Mexican Revolution, then about to take place. Before the snub of the Mexican government, Darío sailed to Havana, where, under the influence of alcohol, he tried to commit suicide. In November 1910 he returned to Paris, where he continued to be a correspondent for the newspaper La Nación and did a job for the Mexican Ministry of Public Instruction that perhaps had been offered as compensation for the humiliation suffered, this letter is from that period before traveling to South America. Provenance : Bought from the family of Velloso and this letter is reproduced in the book JUAN JOSE DE URQUIZA - La amistad de Rubén Darío y Enrique García Velloso (The friendship of Rubén Darío and Enrique García Velloso)
