1552. Carta de Juan Prieto para su mujer Sabina de Cabra.

Letter from Juan Prieto to his wife Sabina de Cabra.

The author lets his wife know of his intention to come back to Spain and of the last sending of money he has made. He asks her to take good care of his children, especially of his daughter.

In 1554 Juan Prieto y Sabina de Cabra, whose tutor was Hernando de Mucientes, brought a lawsuit against Bartolomé de Nava, a native to Huete, for withholding two hundred and ten gold pesos that Juan Prieto (father and husband) had sent them from Peru. Likewise, Juan Cortés y Mora, a resident of Quemada, was also sued since he failed in delivering sixty gold pesos to the plaintiffs. They proved their case against Bartolomé de Nava by providing four letters which corroborated the money had been sent from the Indies to Valladolid. Justice sentenced in favour of the claimants.
