In English

Copy of a justification letter from Francisco Quintino da Cruz, a yacht master, to António Ribeiro Pessoa, a trader.

The author excuses himself for not having sailed his boat from Gibraltar to Almería. He promises to do so as soon as the the wind stops blowing from the West.

António Ribeiro Pessoa was a trader who owned a yacht. His yacht master, Francisco Quintino da Cruz, should go to Almería and back for cargo trading, but he went to Gibraltar instead, sold the cargo and hid himself. António Ribeiro Pessoa succeeded in having him arrested when he came back to Lisbon. In the instructions letter that António Ribeiro Pessoa initially gave to Francisco Quintino da Cruz along with the yacht, there was a list of the latter´s obligations. He was to leave with rice, olive oil and wood and it must bring back esparto grass, sweet fennel, cumin, Alicante raisins and brandy.
