Love letter from Florentina da Cunha to her confessor, Jorge Machado, a priest.

The author tells her addressee that she is in love with him. She promises him that she is able to keep their relationship a secret.

Jorge Machado, a priest who was the vicar of São Vicente da Beira, was prosecuted by the Inquisition of Lisbon for heretical statements, Lutheranism, sacrilege and solicitation in confession. He was accused of having sexual intercourse with several women during confession, giving them a part of the holy wafer as a compensation and convincing them they had committed no sin.
