La correspondencia de Olmedo constituye por muchos conceptos una revelación. Viene a dar la clave histórica de lo que, por los solos escritos públicos, había sido siempre una incógnita insoluble, pues el tenor de ciertos escritos y de ciertas actitudes suyas parecia incompatible con la tendencia que pudiera llamarse intimista de su caracter, con su falta de agresividad, con su moderacion, con su timidez y encogimiento. Este volumen recoge 1) Cartas familiares, 2) Cartas literarias, 3) Cartas historicas y politicas.

La Carta a los españoles americanos fue escrita por Juan Pablo Vizcardo y Guzmán en francés y fue traducida al castellano por Francisco de Miranda. Se trata de una de los primeros documentos de defensa de la independencia de Latinoamerica. Olvidada durante mas de un siglo y poco estudiada antes del siglo XX, la epistola nos permite conocer el ya complejo siglo XVIII hispanoamericano.Juan Pablo Viscardo y Guzman fue un criollo nacido en Peru. Desde muy temprana edad, ingreso como novicio a la Compañia de Jesus junto con su hermano Jose Anselmo. En 1767 mediante decreto de Carlos III, fue expatriado de los reinos de la Nueva Granada por ser jesuita. El destierro forzado desperto en Viscardo un profundo analisis manifiesto en esta celebre Carta a los españoles americanos. Viscardo y Guzman murio, en febrero de 1798, en Londres. Estaba decepcionado de sus esfuerzos y de la actitud del gobierno ingles ante su proyecto libertador del Nuevo Mundo. Su proyecto pesaba sobre su espiritu. Era la expresion en todo su esplendor, de sus trascendentes reflexiones, que finalmente motivaron las luchas de Independencia Americana. Antes de morir, Viscardo y Guzman entrego sus escritos a su amigo Rufus King, ministro de Estados Unidos en Inglaterra. Este se los dio a Francisco de Miranda, quien se ocupo de imprimir y difundir este carta. Citamos a continuacion un pasaje de la Carta a los españoles americanos que nos parece memorable: No hay ya pretexto para excusar nuestra apatia si sufrimos mas largo tiempo las vejaciones que nos destruyen; se dira con razon que nuestra cobardia las merece. Nuestros descendientes nos llenaran de imprecaciones amargas, cuando mordiendo el freno de la esclavitud, de la esclavitud que habran heredado, se acordaren del momento en que para ser libres no era menester sino el quererlo.
