[1820-1830]. Carta de Manuela Sanz para su marido Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Letter from Manuela Sanz to her husband Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author writes her husband to explain him that it is not her fault if he does not receive her letters. She also reproaches what he wrote in his latest letter and his doubting her love for him.

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.
