[1827]. Carta de Pedro Nicanor González, secretario, para Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Letter from Pedro Nicanor González, a secretary, to Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author ironically complains about the criticism he received, and recounts Manuel López the despair he felt as a consequence of the murder of a woman committed by some soldiers.

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 harboring liberal ideas and of plotting to overthrow Fernando VII and establish a constitutional regime.
