BOLIVAR Simon (1783-1830)
"El Libertador", hero and liberator of South America L.S. "Bolivar", Bogota 8 November 1828, to his friend José Angel ALAMO, in Caracas; 2 pages in-4, address (burnished paper, slots); in Spanish. On the aftermath of the September Conspiracy, his gold and silver mines, and his eldest daughter Maria Antonia. He received his letter of September 20 informing him of the news from Europe and this country, and of Maria Antonia's resistance to give the payment orders ("la resistencia de Maria Antonia á darle las libranzas"). This woman makes him desperate ("Esta señora me hace desesperar!").

As for the rest, all is well, the army of the South is very good; General SUCRE has taken command of it, as well as of the departments; a miserable guerrilla war in Patia, led by one of the conspirators of the 25th, will have been crushed at this hour; and the work of reform is continuing very assiduously... "Me alegro que se hallen tan bien por allá como U. manifiesta, y sobre todo que esté U. tan brioso, porque esto, segun U. mismo dice, no es poca prueba. Por acá va todo, tambien, lo mejor que es posible, despues de la cruel borrasca que se ha disipado y de que ya estará U. orientado; hablo de la conspiracion del 25 en 7re. Esta se ha terminado ya porque solo falta la confirmación del Consejo, que se da
