Private business letter from João Dias de Freitas, an apothecary, to João Dias Alves Branco, a craftsman.

The author asks the addressee to deliver him «wine», the codename for gunpowder, to a person of their acquaintance.

João Dias Alves Branco was master craftsman in the Royal Factory of Gunpowder in Barcarena, near Lisbon.

He was also accused of an arson attack to a gunpowder factory in Spain and of making counterfeit money.
