Contact seller5-star sellerRare autograph letter signed by 'El Libertador', Simà n BolÃvar as President of Gran Colombia. One page, script in Spanish. Sent from Bogota, the letter is dated December 6, 1827 and reads in full, "A la Senora Manuela Garaycoa. Umd. siempre se eccele a si misma on bondades para conmigo y me prodiga elofios ques ellos solo, bast…arian para saviar la codica del mas ambivioiso de gloria. Y que otra cora podria yo esperar de las Garaycoas de esas amigas fieles de esas Colombians constantes de esa Gloriosa sin rival? Yo les doy las gracias a todas y seame tambien permitido congratulamme a mi mismo, ya que e algun modo be podidos sustitur la paz y la tranquilidad al corazon de los Guayaquilenos un sacrificio me ha cortado - el de mi reposo, pero que importa que paderca yo para que umds. gozen? Que yo peresac para que viva un Puebla? Tenga v, Senora, la bondad de coreesponder a las espreciones de toda su buena y amable familia. Digale mil cosas a Pepe, ese pepe tan bueno, tan patrista, y de quien esperaba yo nada menof de lo que ha hecho por su pais, y creame como he sido diempre. Su mas afectisimo amigo de corazon. Simà n BolÃvar" which translates into English as, "To Senora Manuela Garaycoa. My friend, who always shows kindness to me and lavishes praise on me that they alone would suffice to savor the greed of the most ambivalent of glory. And what other heart could I expect from the Garaycoas of those? Faithful friends of those constant unrivaled Glorious Colombians? I thank you all and let me also congratulate myself, since in some way I have been able to substitute the peace and the tranquility to the heart of the Guayaquilenos, a sacrifice has made me cut off - that of my rest, but what does it matter what I suffer for you to enjoy? That I perish for a people to live? Have you, Senora, the kindness to respond to the expectations of all your good and kind family, tell a million things to Pepe, so good. and from whom I expected nothing less than what he has done for his country, and believe me as I have always been. His most affectionate friend at heart. Simà n BolÃvar. " The recipient, Manuela Garaycoa was an Ecuadorian independentista. She participated in the anti-colonial struggle in the second war of independence and, despite the death of her son Abdà n Calderà n at a young age in battle, maintained a strong bond with the independence struggle and frequently corresponded with Antonio Josà de Sucre and Simà n BolÃvar. In near fine condition. With a portrait of Bolivar. Venezuelan military and political leader Simà n BolÃvar, also known as 'El Libertador', led what are currently the countries of Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Panama to independence from the Spanish Empire in the campaign for the independence of New Granada, which began in 1808 and was consolidated with the victory at the Battle of Boyacá on 7 August 1819. Despite a number of hindrances, including the arrival of an unprecedentedly large Spanish expeditionary force, the revolutionaries eventually prevailed, culminating in the victory at the Battle of Carabobo in 1821, which effectively made Venezuela an independent country. Following this triumph over the Spanish monarchy, BolÃvar participated in the foundation of the first union of independent nations in Latin America, Gran Colombia, of which he was president from 1819 to 1830. Through further military campaigns, he ousted Spanish rulers from Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, the last of which was named after him. He was simultaneously president of Gran Colombia (present-day Venezuela, Colombia, Panama and Ecuador), Peru, and Bolivia, but soon after, his second-in-command, Antonio Josà de Sucre, was appointed president of Bolivia. BolÃvar aimed at a strong and united Spanish America able to cope not only with the threats emanating from Spain and the European Holy Alliance but also with the emerging power of the United States. At the peak of his power, BolÃvar ruled over a vast territory from the Argentine border to the Caribbean Sea.

The final battle in the war of independence, BolÃvar's decisive victory at Carabobo on June 24, 1821 finally secured Venezuela's national independence after years of war against Spain and established the Republic of Gran Colombia. On May 23, 1822, a nighttime assault by South American rebel forces was led by General Antonio Josà de Sucre against the Spanish royalists on the slopes of the volcano Cerro Pichincha near Quito.

The letter is dated May 13, 1828, and offers the recipient, Colonel Josà Fà lix Blanco, BolÃvar's support in his struggle to maintain the security of Barinas (of which was made Gover…nor in 1827) in the midst of heavy criticism from several officers including General Josà Antonio Páez.
