In English | Request letter written by a monk, frei João da Madre de Deus, to a gentle woman, [Dona Antónia Maria]. The author complaints about being away from the addressee and her daughters, calling them "Mother" and "sisters", respectively. He mentions life in the convent, where he is busy all the time and with no entertaining company like the one he had at her house. He asks for details about the rumours that are being spread about his misconduct. He thanks the present that she sent him (a "sign of love") and asks for a spool of thread in the next package. The monk frei João da Madre de Deus was accused of conduct unsuitable to his religious condition. He was involved with a mother and her daughters, who had received him in their house in Alenquer. The women handed the letters as a proof of his guilt but were afraid both of his vindictive character and of the proofs he himself held, because he had never handed back their own correspondence. He also kept the gifts they had given him: a braid of hair, two silver hearts and a silver case. |
