1542. Carta de António Fernandes, mercador, para Francisco Mendes, doutor.

Autor(es) António Fernandes      
Destinatário(s) Francisco Mendes      
In English

Private letter from António Fernandes, merchant, to Doutor Francisco Mendes.

The author says that the olive oil isn't selling and asks the addressee not to send him more.

The same pack includes other letters that came from Flandres at the same time, where various aspects about the local trade are discussed. Among the goods that were traded at the time, we have: olive oil, wool, wheat and swords. Some foreign exchange issues, commercial debt, the impact of scarcity or abundance of certain goods, besides other general matters, are also discussed in these documents.

This is one of the letters in the collection "Corpo Cronológico", a documental fund under the custody of the National Archive of Torre do Tombo. It is a collection composed mostly by documentation of judicial and administrative nature, from 1161 to 1696. After the earthquake of 1755 many scattered documents were incorporated in this fund. Just like the name suggests, the main criterion of organization within the Corpo Cronológico is the documents' date.

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.
