1790. Carta de Cipriano Ribeiro Freire, encarregado de negócios, para Dom João de Almeida de Melo e Castro, diplomata.

Author(s) Cipriano Ribeiro Freire      
Addressee(s) João de Almeida de Melo e Castro      
In English

Letter from Cipriano Ribeiro Freire, Chargé d'affaires, to Dom João de Almeida de Melo e Castro, the Portuguese plenipotentiary minister in the court of London.

The author reports on the practical preparations for the arrival of the addressee as a plenipotentiary minister in London.

João de Almeida de Melo e Castro (1756-1814), the 5th Count of the House of Galveias, was a Portuguese diplomat who, given the pluri-continental nature of the monarchy he represented, had to be very subtle, while dealing with foreign powers, in the management of the resulting Portuguese political ambiguity. He was a plenipotentiary minister in London, the Hague and Rome and an ambassador in Vienna. After 1801 he had different government functions: foreign affairs minister, war minister, navy and overseas minister. He had also several honorary titles. He married Dona Isabel José de Meneses but they had no children, so the 6th Count of Galveias was his brother Francisco (1758-1819).

O ultimo Paquete me trouxe a honra de huma Carta de V Exa, datada de 24 de Novembro, a que vou responder sem pêrda de tempo; informando a V Exa que esta Caza se acha inteiramente despedida, mas que visto V Exa ter moveis bastantes da sua Caza de Roma, os Leitos de familia e outros trastes inferiores facilmente aqui se compram, e por preço moderado. A bateria de Cozinha em parte nenhũa se compra melhor, sendo a perfeição das obras de Cobre, e até de folha de flandres, peculiar a esta Capital. Coche, ou Carruagem, com a chegada de V Exa a Londres he que a deve mandar ao seu gosto, por conta propria, ou de aluguer que se paga ao mesmo constructor, ou Carpinteiro de Seges
