http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32140207

Letters from Poinsett in Mexico and elsewhere to Charleston, S.C. physician Dr. Isaac A. Johnson mainly concern Poinsett's son, who is "under [Johnson's] charge by a paper left in the hands of Col. James Burn at Philadelphia." Poinsett expresses concern that the name of the child's mother never be revealed and directs that the child be christened James Burn. A letter (1826) also discusses Poinsett's part in the establishment of (York Rite) Masonic lodges in Mexico.
