1718. Carta da Soror Joana Maria de Nazaré a João Fernandes.

Private letter from Sister Joana Maria de Nazaré to João Fernandes

The author writes João Fernandes, asking him to find a witch that can cast a spell to kill a nun

«João Fernandes, you will certainly take these lines as a surprise, but those who have pensions and conveniences don’t pay attention to anything. I want you to find me a witch who can make witchcraft against a nun from this convent, so that she dies, because, only then, can I be freer and also because this nun has slanged you too. My request is a secret, no one can know it. And make it as soon as you can. Keep it a secret. Don’t fail on me, and António da Conceição must keep his silence.»
