[1820-1830]. Carta de Manuela Sanz para su marido Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Letter from Mauela Sanz to Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author writes her husband to give him an explanation about a certain matter which made him jealous. She asks him to forgive her for the mistakes she unintentionally committed, and tells him that all she wants is to stay by his side.

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