1827. Carta de Gerónimo Desen para Manuel López, capitán.

Letter from Gerónimo Desen to Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author gives Manuel López the latest news, to ask him to send letters for him and to give him advice on how to send the letters in order for them not to be intercepted.

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.

This letter was enclosed with the note PSCR2765.
