El proceso se abrió por ilusa e iludente contra Agustina Salgado, beata del Carmen, entre 1712 y 1716, resultando finalmente condenada. Esta correspondencia gira en torno al proceso de curación de Nicolás Hernández, enfermo de un mal desconocido que hizo que interviniese la beata Agustina Salgado. Ésta, enferma, se encontraba en casa de su sobrino Andrés Merlo, porque un día la encontraron "hecha un ovillo muy lastimada, desconcertados los brazos y deslocados los huesos de su cuerpo sin poderla mover [...] corría voz tenía un espíritu maligno arrimado" (7v). Eugenio González de María, remitente de algunas de las cartas de este conjunto, fue testigo de uno de los momentos en los que la reo estaba bajo la influencia del demonio. El enfermo, Nicolás Hernández, oyó que Agustina Salgado era una mujer virtuosa y, antes de acudir a ella, se informó a través de Eugenio Aguado sobre sus capacidades (PS8023), y éste le explicó que era una mujer muy espiritual, por lo que Nicolás Hernández decidió ponerse en contacto con ella para que le encomendase a Dios y para ver si era apropiado que se casase con María Teresa Pezeño. La beata le dijo que era una unión del agrado de Dios, por lo que se casaron en 1712 y desde entonces Nicolás Hernández se encontraba padeciendo una enfermedad del alma no conocida (127v). Fl. 128 y siguientes se mencionan algunas cartas. Nicolás Hernández hizo la delación contra Agustina a través de Manuel Garzo. Agustina Salgado le dijo a Nicolás Hernández que dejase las dependencias en las que estaba su agente Nicolás Gómez Ramírez, para que éste no enfermase como le había pasado a él mismo, parece que el objetivo final de la beata era que las dependencias entrasen en propiedad de sus parientes. Las cartas son aportadas al proceso por sus destinatarios. En el margen izquierdo del folio 173r los inquisidores anotan "8ª". Además aparece una marca abarcando el texto en el que se menciona a la beata.

Letter from Andrés Melo to Nicolás Gómez Ramírez, both tax collectors.

The author informs Nicolás Ramírez about the travels he has made lately regarding the sale of cereals and about price setting. After further reporting this kind of information, he talks about the delicate condition of Agustina Salgado, who is in bed without being able to move. He puts particular emphasis on sending regards to some people he knows.

The trial for fooled and self-delusion against Agustina Salgado, blessed of Our Lady of Carmel, occurred between 1712 and 1716. She was found guilty. The correspondence relates to Nicolás Hernández’s healing process, who suffered from an unknown affection that requested the blessed’s intervention. Agustina Salgado was staying at her nephew’s house, Andrés Merlo, because she was ill and she was found once in a very bad condition «rolled up on herself, very injured, with puzzled arms and broken bones in her body without being able to move [...] word was passed around that an evil spirit had come upon her»(7v). Eugenio González de María, the sender of some of the letters from this set, witnessed one of the moments in which the defendant was under the influence of the devil. Nicolas Hernández heard that Agustina Salgado was a virtuous woman and, before going to her, he inquired Eugenio Aguado about her capabilities (PS8023). Aguado explains him she was a very spiritual woman and, consequently, Nicolás Hernández decided to contact her. He intended for her to entrust him to God and also ask her if it was appropriate for him to marry María Teresa Pezeño. Agustina Salgado told him that the marriage would please God. So they got married in 1712 and ever since they did Nicolás Hernández suffered from an unknown soul affection (127v). Fl.128. Eventually, Nicolás Hernández denounced Agustina through Manuel Garzo and the defendant tried to convince Nicolás Hernández to leave the businesses in which his agent, Nicolás Gómez Ramírez, was working so that he did not get sick as it happened to himself. It seems that the ulterior motive behind her demands was to pass these businesses to her relatives. On the left margin of folio 173r the inquisitors wrote down "8ª". Besides, there is a mark covering the text in which the blessed is mentioned. The letters are provided to the process by their addressees.
