[1820-1830]. Carta de Manuela Sanz para José Pedro.

Letter from Manuela Sanz to José Pedro.

The author writes José Pedro to beg him to block the letters sent by her father-in-law.

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.
