1827. Carta de Federico López para su hermano Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Letter from Federico López to his brother Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author writes his brother Manuel López to give him the latest news about the army, the transports, and other matters.

The General Police Administration was closely monitoring the activities of foreign citizens residing in Portugal, also controlling their communications, in collaboration with the superintendent of the Posts. This letter is part of this intercepted correspondence from those Spanish military and intellectuals who, fleeing the absolutist Spain, had taken refuge in Portugal and were suspected of harbouring liberal ideas and of plotting to overthrow Fernando VII and establish a constitutional regime.
