1827. Carta de Bernarda, pseudónimo de Bernardo Peinador, auditor de guerra honorario, para [Manuel López, capitán de caballería].

Letter from Bernarda, pseudonym of Bernardo Peinador, an honorary Judge Advocate, to Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author recommends Manuel López to use an invisible ink of better quality for his letters.

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 harboring liberal ideas and of plotting to overthrow Fernando VII and establish a constitutional regime.
