In English

Warning letter dictated by Inês de Mesquita to be sent to her husband, [João Fernandes Fragoso], a merchant

The author warns her husband about who is being prosecuted and condemned by Coimbra Inquisition. She points to him two ways of being careful.

A merchant who was also a New Christian forgot a letter sent to him by his wife within a saddlebag that should be repaired by a locksmith.

You must know about the ‘auto da fé’ done in Coimbra on the 15th of September and the chosen people were the ones you know through Fernão Lopes Baltasar […]. The brother of nsião Dias de Tavarede was asked about you and he said that, as far as he is concerned, you had nothing to be afraid of. However, if you agree, come straight to Coimbra and talk with Manuel Henriques, son of Henriques Fernandes, as he will explain you everything. Otherwise, if it feels right, wait there a few more days, because Henrique de Sousa will departure from here and until Thursday he will talk and learn in more detail what is going on and you will be warned. As soon as he arrives, you will be warned of everything. The boy and I stay in good health, waiting for your good news and that God keeps you as He can. Aveiro, 21st September 1602.
