"¡Viva la Confederación Argentina! ¡Mueran los salvages unitarios! Buenos Aires, Diciembre 4 de 1845.
Mi querido padre: Con un placer que no puedo explicar, y al mismo tiempo con orgullo, he sabido de la gloriosa defensa que ha hecho V. contra la Inglaterra y la Francia; he sentido bastante el no saber que estaba V. herido, pero al momento supe que no era de peligro y una enfermedad de mi padre me detiene acá por ahora, fue atacado por una apoplejía y ha quedado inútil una pierna y un brazo. Estando en la estancia supimos que había habido una acción y que V. había llegado a la ciudad, herido; por ese motivo le escribí a Emilia del modo que le escribí. Vine yo a la ciudad y encontré que no era cierto, ya sabe ella, porque mandé una carta antes de ayer con la Gaceta. Todos, en la estancia, quedaron buenos. En el campo y en la ciudad no se conversa más que de la resistencia que ha hecho V. No saben cómo ponderar su valor y talento militar, entre todos, los mismos ingleses que conozco que son enemigos del Gobierno se unen con los otros en elogiarlo. Mi querido padre, sé que sus atenciones son muchas; no puedo escribir cosa que no sabrá por otra mano en mejor lenguaje, y así no seré muy largo. Al señor Garmendia muchas expresiones, y felicitaciones por su honorable herida, a Samuel y Pepita, memorias de todos los conocidos, recuerdos de mi parte. Si V. tiene un momento desocupado, y puede mandarme una carta para el señor Juez de Paz de San Vicente, pues el que estaba ha salido, recomendándome y avisándole que el almacén es de V., me hará un gran favor. Deseando verlo a V. después de lo que ha sucedido, más que nunca queda su afmo. hijo y amigo.

P.D. -D. Guillermo e Isabelita Livingston mandan a V. muchas expresiones y están muy contentos con que V. ha salido tan bien de sus peligros."[Mansilla, Lucio V., Entre-nos/1889. Causeries de los Jueves, Libro I, Primera Edición, Buenos Aires, Casa Editora Juan A. Alsina, 1889, "Por qué...?"
"Long live the Argentine Confederation!
Death to the savage Unitarians!
Buenos Aires, 04 December 1845
My Dear Father,
With a pleasure I cannot put to words, and at the same time with pride, I have known of the glorious defense that you have made against England and France; I was taken aback for not knowing that you were wounded, but instantly learned that it was not serious and my father's [Richard Sutton's] illness has kept me here. He was attacked by apoplexy, rendering one arm and one leg paralyzed.
In the Estancia we learned that there had been a battle and that you had returned, wounded, to the city; that is the reason for writing to Emilia in the fashion I did. I then came to town and found that it was not correct, she already knows, for I sent her another letter the day before yesterday with the Gaceta. Everyone in the Estancia was satisfied. In the country and in town nobody talks but of the resistance you've made. They know not how to further sing the praises of your courage and military talent, all, even the Englishmen I know who are enemies of the Government unite with the others in your praise.My dear father, I know your kindnesses are many, I can't write anything you will not learn from another hand in better style, so I'll be brief.
To Mr. Garmendia many congratulations and felicitations for his honorable wound, to Samuel and Pepita [Samuel Tebbetts and Josefa Mansilla], remembrances from all who know them and my best.
If you should find a moment, and can send me a letter to the Justice of the Peace in San Vicente, for the old one has gone, recommending me to him and letting him know that the General Store is yours, you'll do me a great favor.
Hoping to see you after what has happened, more than ever I remain your very affectionate son and friend,
Ricardo Sutton (son)
P.S.: Don Guillermo and Isabelita Livingston [William J. Livingston and Elizabeth Sutton Lord] send you their many regards and are elated that you have come out so well from danger."
A document was auctioned in Nevada by Holabird Associates on 17 May 2002 as follows:
"Richard Sutton, Jr., licenced (sic) ship broker, Buenos Aires" contracting with T. M. Zechow, master of the Schooner Rapide to "receive on board from the Lighters alongside, and within reach of the brig's tackles, all and such cargo as the charterers may choose to put in" for shipment to the port of San Francisco. Messers Zimmerman, Frazier and Co. were to load the vessel and make a payment of "Four Thousand Hard Silver Dollars" for the freight to Captain Zechow. A provision was included in the contract for an advance payment of 500 "hard silver dollars" to the captain should he need funds in this port. The schooner was registered in Sweden and operated a shipping route between Buenos Aires and San Francisco. Neither Zechow nor the Rapide are listed in Howe and Mathew's, 1986, American Clipper Ships, 1833 to 1858. 10-1/2 x 16-1/2. Folds, 2" x 4" piece torn from bottom center of document.

Richard married 1 (1) Mauricia Mansilla daughter of Gral. Lucio Norberto Mancilla and Polonia Durante on 13 Mar 1828 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mauricia was born about 1810 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She died about 1836 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
"I have just said that my father was a gradfather when I was born. Indeed, he had been married to Polonia Duarte. With her he had three children, two daughters and a son: Juan, the youngest; Mauricia, the eldest; and Pepa, the middle one.
Whe he married a second time, all were older than my mother. Mauricia was married to Ricardo Sutton, northamerican, excellent person; a relative of Don Tomas Livingston.......a very respectable man, father of those two Livingston's that have had certain notoriety in our social circles.......
I went to Don Tomas' house with frequency. They made some pancakes with molasses. Delicious. I liked my fingers.
Don Tomas' wife was very agreeable, white, pale, blond. And his mother-in-law, Ricardo's mother, always with a white mop-cap and glasses with a gold frame. She had a very respectable air.
I had a lot of fun in the barracks watching, since I could not ride it, the pony of the two boys (Tomas and Frank if I remember well), and the wool presses.
...........
Mauricia and Ricardo left four children. Lucio, I don't know what happend to him. After the fall of Rosas I think he became and "Estanciero" in the South.
..........
Ricardo Sutton, Jr., was a physician. He studied in the United States and did the campaing in Paraguay, leaving a good name.
Agustina Sutton married a US merchant marine Captain and both died young. She was very beutiful and of good temperament. Emily, the eldest, married a doctor. Medical surgeon and dentist. Tucksbury, who was on his way through Buenos Aires. Emily was a woman of much merit.
Tucksbury had his moment in fashion. He and Diego de Alvear weere the first to use chloroform. Diego had just arrived from Washington and his name, good looks and elegance made him the center of attention.
California swallowed Emilia and her husband. I don't know what became of them. Emilia came twice to Buenos Aires to visit her parents. She visited my mother with whom she always corresponded and exchanged fotographs. She enjoyed (and it was not too frequent) much prestige among the descendants of my father's first marriage. True, it was not posible to ignore her good character and an enviable capacity to please naturally, which came from a disinterested desire to make people feel at ease, young and old; rich and poor alike. So she never said anything of a disagreeable nature, and age all but accentuated this trait.
