[1820-1830]. Carta de Francisco Romo para un destinatario no identificado.

Letter from Francisco Romo to an unidentified addressee.

The author writes an unidentified addressee to give him information about the situation of the army in the place where the author is at the moment. He also gives the addressee news related to a proclamation which forbids subversive texts.

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.
