1815. Carta de Manuel Inácio Martins Pamplona Corte Real, tenente-general, para António Duarte Pimenta, capitão.

Author(s)	Manuel Inácio Martins Pamplona Corte Real
Addressee(s)	António Duarte Pimenta
In English	Letter from Manuel Inácio Martins Pamplona Corte Real, a Lieutenant-General, to António Duarte Pimenta, a captain. The author regrets that he cannot write a recommendation letter to the addressee. He says that he is forbidden to do that but he hopes the addressee will not resent him. The General Superintendant of the Portuguese Police was alerted by an anonymous tip that in the jail of Limoeiro, in Lisbon, several prisoners were preparing a conspiracy against the absolutist government, which included the assassination of some of its ministers. The case was investigated and the resulting proceedings are very confusing, full of mutual denunciations and accusations, typical of the political uncertainty that characterized the fall of the 'Vintismo' (the liberal period) in 1823 and the approval of the Constitutional Chart in 1826. One of the suspects was Cândido de Almeida Sandoval, a publicist that was both the target and the source of several accusations. If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
