[1820-1830]. Carta de Francisco Romo para Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Letter from Francisco Romo to Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author gives Manuel López information about the various conflicts previous to the beginning of the Carlist War.

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.
