Edward Habich was one of the many Polish refugee engineers who worked in Peru in the nineteenth century. He was one of the main organizers and the first director of the mining school in Lima, before becoming director of the UNI, the leading third level technical school in South America. lgnacy Domeyko, one of the most eminent geologists at the time, lived and worked in Chile. He was the president of the University of Santiago. The two men knew each other and were on friendly terms. The article presents five letters from Habich to Domeyko. The letters are currently part of an important ,,Domeyko collection" in the Polish library in Paris. They discuss publishing exchanges, provide information concerning the life of the group of Polish engineers and scientists in Lima, the political situation and scientific life in Poland, which was occupied by the Russians and Prussians at the time. Some of the letters were written during the Chilean occupation of Lima. In his letter to Domeyko, Habich describes the disastrous consequences of this occupation for the engineers and scientists in Peru
