[1820-1830]. Carta de Francisco Romo para un destinatario no identificado

Letter from Francisco Romo to an unidentified addressee.

The author writes an unidentified addressee to give him various news related to the beginning of the Carlist Wars. He tells him how the royalists are being armed and informs him about the most important movements.

The General Police Administration was closely monitoring the activities of foreign citizens residing in Portugal, also controlling their communications, in collaboration with the superintendent of the Posts. This letter is part of this intercepted correspondence from those Spanish military and intellectuals who, fleeing the absolutist Spain, had taken refuge in Portugal and were suspected of harbouring liberal ideas and of plotting to overthrow Fernando VII and establish a constitutional regime.
