From the library

A causa de esta relativa precocidad vine a ser el amanuense y el secretario de la casa; y así, cuando un año después mi padre se trasladó a Madrid para completar su carrera y graduarse de doctor en Medicina y Cirugía, fuí yo el encargado de la correspondencia familiar y de enterarle de los sucesos del partido médico, regentado a la sazón por facultativo suplente.
