1828. Carta Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro, sob o pseudónimo de Anacleto Vila Real, para João Maria Botão.

Author(s)	Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro
Addressee(s)	João Maria Botão
In English	Extortion letter from Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro, under the alias of Anacleto Vila Real, to João Maria Botão. The author promises to burn everything belonging to the addressee unless he sends a sum of money to a prisoner in Lisbon. In the first quarter of the 19th century, extortion letters became a very typical practice. Authors threatened rich addressees with all sorts of ruinous events in the case they didn't hand in a certain amount of money. The frequentness of this practice was possible also because of the political and social turmoil associated with these first years of Liberalism. If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
