| Summary: | Smith also discusses a "very rich" man named "Antonio Menacho" living in Barbados, originally from Peru, who has not heard anything of the Putumayo atrocities as he lived further down the Amazon river in the Acré tributary and states; "so he can know nothing about the actual facts." and "I still think he has been led astray by false information and for this I am sorry, as he is a man I believe to have some influence in Lima personally and through friend.". |
