[1582-1584]. Carta de Manuel Leitão, ex-guarda do Santo Ofício, para [João de Oliveira].

Author(s) Manuel Leitão      
Addressee(s) [João de Oliveira]      
In English

Request letter from Manuel Leitão, former guard of the Inquisition of Coimbra, to [João de Oliveira].

The author asks for some favors to someone he trusts.

Violante Nunes, born in Seia, was a new christian. While she was held in the jail of the Inquisition of Coimbra, she gave birth to a boy that many people could attest was the son of Manuel Leitão, a former guard in the same jail. This letter was probably sent by Manuel Leitão, who at that time was in Lisbon serving a sentence, to João de Oliveira, in Santa Comba Dão. The previous crime of Manuel Leitão was the facilitation of correspondence between inmates and their families and friends.

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.
