1823. Carta Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro, sob o pseudónimo de António Chuço, para Fernando António de Almeida, fazendeiro.

Author(s)	Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro
Addressee(s)	Fernando António de Almeida
In English	Extortion letter from Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro, under the alias of António Chuço, to Fernando António de Almeida, a land owner. The author threatens the addressee with violence unless he pays a sum of money to a prisoner in Lisbon. In the first quarter of the 19th century, extortion letters became a very typical practice. Authors threatened rich addressees with all sorts of ruinous events in the case they didn't hand in a certain amount of money. The frequentness of this practice was possible also because of the political and social turmoil associated with these first years of Liberalism. If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
