The nature and homeland of Padre Sarmiento

Abstract

Several months ago, X.L. Méndez Ferrín dedicated two of his works, Espellos, and a few lines of a third, to the discussion of one of my articles on the origin of this Great Galician, published in Sarmiento. Anuario de Historia da Educación. Just a few days after the last article was published, I sent a letter of clarification to the newspaper, and  through it, to the author. I received no answer, nor did they publish my letter. So, a few weeks later, I sent it again. Again I didn`t receive any answer from the newspaper or from Méndez Ferrín. This is an abridged version of that letter, which was resent to the Faro de Vigo, on March 9th, a date I considered to be appropriate date, the day Martín Sarmiento was born, but, it received no attention,either.
