1828. Carta de João Maria Botão para António Negrinho, pseudónimo de Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro.

Autor(es) João Maria Botão      
Destinatário(s) Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro      
In English

Note from João Maria Botão to António Negrinho, the alias of Luís Caetano Leirós de Andrade e Castro.

The author sends the money from a ransom that was extorted from him.

In the first quarter of the 19th century, extortion letters became a very typical practice. Authors threatened rich addressees with all sorts of ruinous events in the case they didn't hand in a certain amount of money. The frequentness of this practice was possible also because of the political and social turmoil associated with these first years of Liberalism.

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.
