CARTA dirigida ao Presidente da Junta da Fazenda da Baía. Lisboa: 1774, 4 de Julho.

Manuscrito sobre papel, assinado; 325 mm.

Interesting document, signed “Marquês de Pombal”, addressed to Manuel da Cunha Menezes, asking him, in the exercise of his position, to inform “in complete secrecy” of the “worthiness, prestige, ability, probity and zeal” of all employees of that public body, so that “this body is preserved unharmed from any vice and any abuse.” Manuel da Cunha Menezes was Governor of the cities of Pernambuco and Baía, having passed from one to the other precisely in that year of 1774. the order “after a few months of exercise”, thus indicating that he had just started working in the position.
