1789. Carta de Vicente Fernández, labrador, para Marcelina Díaz de Cuesta.

Author(s) Vicente Fernández      
Addressee(s) Marcelina Díaz de Cuesta      
In English

Letter from Vicente Fernández, a farmer, to Marcelina Díaz de Cuesta.

The author writes her lover to inform her that it is very difficult for him to send her letters, and that he does not know if he will be able to meet her again, because his father opposes their relationship.

Marcelina Díaz de Cuesta, represented by his father, brought a lawsuit against Vicente Fernández, nephew of the employer of the girl, demanding from him to marry her, because they had had an intimate relationship and because she was pregnant. During the process a jurisdictional conflict emerged, which was resolved by the chancellery of Valladolid. The proceedings are incomplete, so we do not know which was the final sentence.

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.
