1827. Carta de Pedro Nicanor González, secretario, para Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Author(s)	Pedro Nicanor González
Addressee(s)	Manuel López
In English	Letter from Pedro Nicanor González, a secretary, to Manuel López, a cavalry captain. The author asks Manuel López not to be offended if he has not been able to answer him sooner, and complains about the great number of letters he has to write. 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 harboring liberal ideas and of plotting to overthrow Fernando VII and establish a constitutional regime. 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.
