[1504]. Carta de Leão Sardinha para o seu criado, Bastião.

Private letter from Leão Sardinha to his servant, Bastião.

The author gives several instructions to his servant.

Several letters can be found 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.

This letter contains a set of instructions on how to proceed to rescue Dona Cristina, wife of João Rodrigues de Vasconcelos ("Joane"), son of the author.
