An aged piece of paper with several illustrations drawn on it in thick pen. It is a letter from a Spanish convent in Lisbon to one in Britain. It uses simple hand-drawn images to convey words, or part of words, in Spanish, often merely because they sound alike. For example, a picture of a wound (herida in Spanish), positioned between K and S, becomes queridas, or dear. Some of the illustrations include a pair of wings, a mother holding two children, a snake, two oars, an envelope, and music notes.
