1780. Carta de Francisco Coelho de Melo para Bento Ribeiro do Vale.

Private letter from Francisco Coelho de Melo to Bento Ribeiro do Vale.

The author asks the recipient to lend him some money.

Bento Ribeiro do Vale lent Francisco Coelho de Melo the sum of forty thousand "réis" in the years 1780 and 1781. The evolution of this debt is shown in the four letters attached to the process, written by the debtor. The heir of the latter was his brother, António Teles Coelho de Melo, against whom Bento Ribeiro do Vale filed a lawsuit in 1791, in an effort to get his money back.
