The Republic of Gran Colombia lasted from 1819-1831 and encompassed the present day countries of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela, and parts of northern Peru, western Guyana, and northwest Brazil. Simón Bolívar served as its first president from 1819-1830 from the capital in Bogotá. It dissolved in November of 1831 due to the political differences and tensions among the peoples of the different present day countries, which made up the republic.

The author, known only by the initials F.P.B, defends himself from an attack that appeared in the publication "El Republicano del Sur" no. 30. This controversy, whose subject is not clear in this publication, is presented as an essay on the subject of friendship.
