An English friend of mine has just sent me a copy of a letter from a Manoel De Souza(Baker & Confectioner) of Nairobi. The letter is dated 1st February, 1908, and the style is quite fascinating. Who knows, there might well be a relation of Manoel who accesses goanet or even on Goan Voice(UK)? Posting this just as a matter of interest.
