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

Letter from Manuel López, a cavalry captain, to his wife Manuela Sanz.

The author writes his wife to express his worry for her. He also gives her information about a lampoon which appeared in Vilvestre (Salamanca).

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.
