The (original) Letter from Jamaica

"Such, Sir, are the thoughts and observations that I have the honour to submit to you, so that you may accept or reject them according to their merit. I beg you to understand that I have expounded them because I do not wish to appear discourteous and not because I consider myself competent to enlighten you concerning these matters."
- Simón Bolívar

Kingston, Jamaica, September 6, 1815.
