The Jamaica Letter (or Carta de Jamaica, also Contestación de un Americano Meridional a un caballero de esta isla "Answer from a southern American to a gentleman of this island") was a document written by Simón Bolívar in Jamaica in 1815. It was a response to a letter from Jamaican merchant Henry Cullen, in which Bolívar explained his thoughts about the social and political situation of the Spanish America at the time, the power of the Spanish Empire and the possible future of the new nations that would be created after its collapse.
