[1830]. Carta de António de Carvalho para sua mãe.

Request letter from António Carvalho, who was in jail for making counterfeit money, to his mother.

The author asks for a book (an «art» book) to be delivered to him in jail. He also asks for other items, avoiding to be precise about them.

António Carvalho was arrested under the accusation of falsifying money and trying to teach the technique to others. Two women were also arrested because some counterfeit money was found in their possession.
