1829. Carta Maria para Manuel António de Andrade Queirós, procurador de causas.

Note from Maria to her brother Manuel António de Andrade Queirós, a solicitor.

The author asks the addressee to fix a broken comb for her. She tells him that some acquaintances of them both have been arrested.

In 1829 a solicitor was arrested in Lisbon because he announced to a soldier -- a drummer -- that his Regiment was in the imminence of marching to Braga. In order to prove this piece of information, he showed him some subversive leaflets. In his house another manuscript was apprehended, but the accused defended himself saying that he himself had written it in a state of hallucination.
