[1751]. Bilhete anónimo, atribuído a Bárbara Teresa Fragoso, para destinatária não identificada.

Addressee(s) Anónima6      
In English

Anonymous note, allegedly written by Bárbara Teresa Fragoso, to an unidentified addressee.

The author asks, on behalf of her mother, that a certain woman who "knows about the herb" goes to a particular location.

The Inquisition archives contain, apart from the around 40 thousand individual proceedings ("processos"), a collection of scattered charges, for which the Inquisition "Promotor" had to decide whether or not to prosecute. Complaints, confessions, letters by the commissioners or about different stages of each proceedings are some of the document types that can be found in these books. This letter has been kept among such documentation.

In this case, a note on the paper says that this letter was written by Bárbara Teresa Fragoso, wife of Sebastião Machado de Paiva.

«My mom asks you to send her there that woman who knows about the herbs to harm that person. And she has threatened my husband many times, saying that he didn’t go to your house, but he should. And, in case he didn’t go, he would see what would happen to him.»

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.
