Request letter from Anselmo Pereira de Lucena, a navy captain, to Zacarias Maria Bessane, a trader.

The author asks the addressee to pay a sum to a third party, the notary João Gualberto da Silva Albuquerque.

The former judge of Olinda, Venâncio Bernardino de Ochoa was accused of several crimes: politically he was anti-constitutional; civilly, he was a bad judge who abused his powers; morally, he was a dishonest person, who played with the prices of cotton and slaves in order to make profit in illegal ways. He was arrested together with his notary, João Gualberto da Silva, but both defendants were later acquitted and released.
