Erica, São Paulo state had up to eight Hospedarias where immigrants, most of the time, stayed until they were transferred to another place where he/family was going work for. You have the record of one of the Hospedarias, I'm curious which one is.
Rio de Janeiro had its own Hospedarias, so if this is a São Paulo Hospedaria, it makes sense that Capital is the capital of São Paulo estate, which is also named São Paulo.
