1625. Carta de Diogo Fernandes, sapateiro e do Santo Ofício, para Francisco da Cunha, provisor e vigário-geral.

Author(s)	Diogo Fernandes
Addressee(s)	Francisco da Cunha
In English	Advice letter from Diogo Fernandes, shoemaker and member of the Inquisition, to Francisco da Cunha, provisor and vicar-general. The author asks that the carrier be sent saying that he had lent money, and says that some people wanted by the authorities are fleeing the country helped by smugglers. Diogo Fernandes, 52, shoemaker and a member of the Inquisition, who lived in Guarda, witnessed Mécia Nunes escape with her daughters, Grácia and Joana Rodrigues, overnight, having for company two men (the nephew of Fernão Lopes Lameira with the same name and Domingos da Siqueira). Diogo Fernandes was then asked, by a court judge order, to find Mécia Nunes, for which he went up to Castile and other lands. In spite of that, he was not able to find any member of their family.
