1597. Carta familiar de Duarte Rodrigues Braço de Ouro, mercador, para o seu irmão, Garcia Rodrigues.

Author(s) Duarte Rodrigues Braço de Ouro      
Addressee(s) Garcia Rodrigues      
In English

Request letter from Duarte Rodrigues Braço de Ouro, a merchant, to his brother, Garcia Rodrigues.

The author writes from Bordeaux to Abrantes asking his brother to send urgent news and merchandise ‒ good fabric and good gems ‒ via Segovia. He protests against the lack of news and shippings, when he knows there are ships coming from India to Lisbon with new cargos.

A New Christian, Simão Rodrigues, was arrested when he went from Bordeaux to Lisbon. The letters he had brought from Bordeaux, sent by another New Christian, the merchant Duarte Rodrigues, were ceased by the Inquisition.

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.
