Author(s)	Anselmo Pereira de Lucena
Addressee(s)	Zacarias Maria Bessane
In English	Request letter from Anselmo Pereira de Lucena, a navy captain, to Zacarias Maria Bessane, a trader. The author asks the addressee to pay a sum to a third party, the notary João Gualberto da Silva Albuquerque. The former judge of Olinda, Venâncio Bernardino de Ochoa was accused of several crimes: politically he was anti-constitutional; civilly, he was a bad judge who abused his powers; morally, he was a dishonest person, who played with the prices of cotton and slaves in order to make profit in illegal ways. He was arrested together with his notary, João Gualberto da Silva, but both defendants were later acquitted and released. 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.
