[1820-1830]. Carta de Francisco Romo para un destinatario no identificado.

Author(s) Francisco Romo      
Addressee(s) Anónimo537      
In English

Letter from Fracisco Romo to an unidentified addressee.

The author writes an unidentified addressee to give him news about the latest movements related to the beginning of the First Carlist War. He also informs the addressee that the soldiers are dissatisfied because of the reduction of their pay.

The General Police Administration was closely monitoring the activities of foreign citizens residing in Portugal, also controlling their communications, in collaboration with the superintendent of the Posts. This letter is part of this intercepted correspondence from those Spanish military and intellectuals who, fleeing the absolutist Spain, had taken refuge in Portugal and were suspected of harbouring liberal ideas and of plotting to overthrow Fernando VII and establish a constitutional regime.

The author seems to be referring to the first movements of the First Carlist War (1833-1840), when the supporters of Princess Maria Christina of the Two Sicilies were looking for support for their cause. In the letter there is a reference to the support from France.

 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.
