    1822 (Aug 22/29): 'Republica de Colombia' printed letter from Guayaquil to Quito, addressed to General Jose Antonio Sucre, endorsed 'Servicio' and struck on front panel with GUAYAQUIL / DEVE in red. Letter written by a secretary, clearly signed at base by the liberator Juan Jose Flores, later to become the first President of Ecuador. Together with another letter from Flores to Sucre apparently all in his own hand and signed from Guayaquil by Juan Jose Flores. Some aging but superb and rare historical documents.
