"NY oral Slit—l had the honour to receive your very flittering
letter from Baltimore, the answer of which was directed to the
United States of America by a circuitous route, which would con-
siderably delay your receipt of it. I have now the greatest plea-
sure in learning, by your favour from Caraecas, the determination
you have formed of residing amongst us, with the laudable objects
of disseminating, and bringing to perfection, the Lancaster ian System
of Education, which bas done, and will continue to do. essential ser-
vice in promoting the cultivation of the human intellect—a wonder-
ful work, which we owe to the singular genius of the man who had
thugoodness to devote himself to the instruction o'r my young fellow-
citizens ! You seem to think assistance necessary to the realization
of your beneficent intentions; I th:refore hasten to offer you twenty
thousand dollars to be employed in advancing the education of the
children of Caraccas. These twenty thousand dollars will be paid
to you in London by the Agents of Peru, on whom you may draw
for this sum in three or four months. The said Agents have orders
to pay the amount to whoever you may direct to receive it, In case
it should not be your wish to employ the entire sum in London, you
may easily cause the remainder of it to be transmitted to Caraccas.
I have further to add, that I will with pleasure advance you a larger
sum with the like view, should you think that it can be usefully em-,
ployed. To enable me to comply with this offer, be pleased to com-
municate
to me your opinion in such terms as you may think lit.
The Government of Peru has been to me must generous in a thou-
sand ways, and has moreover placed at my disposal a million of dol-
lars for the service of the Colombians. Public education will re-'
ceive my first attention in the distribution of this sum. For this
reason it is no inconvenience to me to promote the advancement to
those establishments for education which are under the direction of
your fine genius. Receive the expression of my admiration, my re-
spect, and my gratitude, for the preference you have given to my
native country, by establishing yourself therein. lam your most af-
fectionate and attentive servant, " BOL 1V A IL"
