1806. Carta de Rafael Ramón Saenz de Tejada para Tomás González.

Author(s)	Rafael Ramón Saenz de Tejada
Addressee(s)	Tomás González
In English	Letter from Rafael Ramón Saenz de Tejada to Tomás González. The author explains to Tomás González, the uncle of Casilda de Porras, that he does not have any obligation towards her, and that he cannot marry without the consent of his father. The letters were presented to the tribunal by Rafael Salazar, father of Casilda de Porras, to demonstrate the existence of a romantic relationship between his daughter and Rafael Saenz de Tejada, who was accused of rape. This letter was the answer to a previous letter sent by the uncle of Casilda de Porras, in which this had informed the accused of her pregnancy and of the fact that she declared that he was the father of the child. 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.
