In English

Private business letter from Nicolau Murta, a clerk, to Manuel Francisco Furtado, a trader.

The author explains to the addressee why there was a delay in the payments of the soldiers in the Army.

Nicolau Murta was a Sergeant in the Lisbon Police. Later, he went to work as a clerk in the English Secretary Services. He owed a large sum of 2,011 «réis», corresponding to several salaries of British Army officers. He tried, by letter, to postpone the payment to his creditor but when he knew that he was going to be arrested, he committed suicide.

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.
