English

Three little shepherds (a boy and two girls) say that a Lady of extreme beauty appears to them. The visions have occurred on the 13th of each month since May.

The children are rough and not very talkative. Before the visions, real or alleged, they answer questions with great difficulty. Immediately afterwards they speak with much more firmness and ease, and trustworthy persons who heard them on the 13th just past say that they stated that on that day Our Lady had appeared to them once more, recommending to the faithful that they do penance and pray a great deal and build her a modest chapel at the place of the apparitions, promising peace soon and the return of the Portuguese soldiers.

Português (original)

Tres pequenos pastores, (um rapaz e duas raparigas) dizem que uma Senhora lhes apparece, d'extrema belleza. As visões teem occorrido nos dias 13 de cada mez a partir de maio.

São rudes as creanças e pouco falladoras. Antes das visões, reaes ou pretensas, respondem com grande dificuldade ás perguntas. Immediatamente depois, fallam com muito mais firmeza e facilidade e dizem pessoas fidedignas, que as ouviram no dia 13 ultimo, que ellas affirmavam ter-lhes n'esse dia apparecido mais uma vez Nossa Senhora recommendando aos fieis que fizessem penitencia e rezassem muito e lhe erigissem uma capella modesta no logar das aparições, promettendo para breve a paz e o regresso dos soldados portuguezes.
