Letter from the Portuguese colonists of Newport, Rhode Island to Henrique José Reed da Silva

Letter from the Portuguese colonists of Newport, Rhode Island to Henrique José Reed da Silva

1915 circa

The letter is addressed to Bishop da Silva and, probably, would have been read in his presence and offered to his hand. It praises the prelate and his life path up until now. It is a document of homage, with a blue and white bow displayed on the base.
