Interesting letter to his friend José Angel Alamo, mentioning the Conspiracy in September waged against him. Bolivar is president of Gran Columbia where he had declared dictatorship from 27 August 1828. A coalition of liberals and military men attempted to take over the presidential palace: Bolivar escaped by the window. The conspiracy was severely repressed including such leaders as Santander punished for his passivity. In this letter, Bolivar mentions his elder sister Maria Antonia Bolivar (1777-1842).
