1832. Carta de José Plácido Barroso da Costa Machado, proprietário, para José Maria da Costa Leite Ribeiro, negociante.

Request letter from José Plácido Barroso da Costa Machado, a land owner, to José Maria da Costa Leite Ribeiro, a trader.

The author tells the addressee how he misses him and asks for him to forge some documents that he needs to have.

A woman of 25, the sister of an imprisoned man, was arrested in Lisbon because she was serving as a courier to the men in jail. She was caught with a letter that proved an arrangement between two men who were obviously trying to fake some documents that allowed them to make a profit. One of the accused justified himself saying that the original documents had disappeared and the one that signed them had died.
