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

Letter from Manuela Sanz to her husband Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author writes her husband to express her love for him and to tell him not to doubt her. She also informs him about the clothes and food she is sending him.

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.
