1826. Carta de un autor no identificado para un destinatario no identificado.

Letter from an unidentified sender to an unidentified addressee.

The unidentified author writes to an unidentified addressee to give him news, of which the most important are about the army.

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.
