1782. Carta de María Antonia Gimbernat para Leonardo Galli.

Author(s) María Antonia Gimbernat      
Addressee(s) Leonardo Galli      
In English

Love letter from María Antonia Gimbernat to Leonardo Galli.

The author regrets the ailments suffered by the recipient and assures him that, although she also suffers, she is not going to stop writing letters to him.

María Antonia Gimbernat, daughter of Don Antonio Gimbernat, honorary surgeon, had promised Leonardo Galli, surgeon of the Royal Spanish Guards, that she would marry him. Her father, however, opposed the realization of that union. She finally gave in to family pressure and returned to the family home. At that time, Leonardo Galli demanded the fulfillment of her word, and to prove the link between them presented eleven letters written between April 3 and June 6, 1782. In these letters the intentions between the couple are quite clear, as well as her determination to marry him. During the process, María Antonia tried to deny the letters and, since she could not prove she did not write them, she stated that she had been entrapped to do so.

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.
