[1820-1830]. Carta de Manuela Sanz para su marido Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Author(s)	Manuela Sanz
Addressee(s)	Manuel López
In English	Letter from Manuela Sanz to her husband Manuel López, a cavalry captain. The author writes her husband to give him news about her daily life, in particular about the latest harvest. She also gives him news from Catalonia and complains about having to act as a messenger to deliver the letters he sends her. 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. 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.
