[1820-1830]. Carta de Ignacio Custodio López para su padre Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Letter from Ignacio Custodio López to his father Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author writes his father Manuel López to wish him well and to reproach him for not thinking of his son.

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.
