[1500]. Carta de Beatriz Carneira para Francisco de Figueiredo.

Family letter from Beatriz Carneira to Francisco de Figueiredo.

The author tells the recipient about some situations of trade and navigation, besides other personal matters.

The recipient of this letter is infered from a side note on folio [1]v, with the following statement: "of Francisco Figueiredo's daughter in the new monastery". This is one of the letters in the collection "Corpo Cronológico", a documental fund under the custody of the National Archive of Torre do Tombo. It is a collection composed mostly by documentation of judicial and administrative nature, from 1161 to 1696. After the earthquake of 1755, many scattered documents were incorporated in this fund. Just like the name suggests, the main criterion of organization within the Corpo Cronológico is the documents' date.
