Family letter from Maria Inácia to her sister, Gertrudes Felizarda Cogominho Pavia e Vasconcelos Sardinha.

The author thanks her sister for sending her some money. She complains about her health and asks for a pair of old pantaloons.

Gertrudes Felizards Cogominho Pavia e Vasconcelos, because her mother was ill and debilitated, sued her maternal uncle and a cousin for receiving the income of an estate («capela») which was her mother's and hers by right. She accused them of forcing her father to state that she wasn't really her mother's daughter. She also accused them of taking her sister from the home they both inhabited and eventually abandoning her.
