1689. Carta de Francisco de Cossio, administrador de las rentas reales, para su mujer Escolástica Céspedes.

Author(s) Francisco de Cossio      
Addressee(s) Escolástica Céspedes      
In English

Letter from Francisco de Cossio, a royal taxes administrator, to his wife Escolástica Céspedes.

The author writes to his wife Escolástica Céspedes to tell her he has been ill and he also mention other topics to her.

Francisco de Cossio was married to Escolástica Céspedes since 1670 and they both were residents of Ciudad Real. Francisco left to Potes to work and began a correspondence with his wife. In some of the letters he sent her, he asked for money and he also asked her to "dissolve their marriage" (fol. 6r). Escolástica argued she had learnt her husband had remarried in Potes. Therefore, she decided to investigate and asked Dionisio de Palacios to write a letter to Mateo Ruiz Carneros on her behalf asking for information about her husband. Eventually the case was suspended due to the lack of documents or testimonies to confirm that Francisco Cossio had remarried in Potes. This letter has some annotations on the left margin: "religious, bold and a mercenary". It could be a description of the defendant written down by the inquisitors. This letter has another annotation by a different handwriting on the left margin: "written to his wife, Escolástica de Céspedes".

If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
