In English | Letter from Francisco de Ávila to his brother Lorenzo Ramos de Ávila, a muleteer. The author writes to his brother Lorenzo Ramos de Ávila, wanting to know about his family well-being and giving him several news. The defendant of this case is Diego Monterroso, a muleteer native to Guatemala. He was accused of bigamy for getting married twice: first in the city of Santa Ana (El Salvador) to Catarina, a tributary Indian; and later to Juana Pacheco, a mixed race native to Puebla de los Ángeles (Mexico). Diego Monterroso´s second wife prosecutes him after finding out he was already married. This information is provided to her by Francisco de Ávila through a letter he sends to his brother Lorenzo Ramos de Ávila. References: Rocío Sánchez Rubio, Isabel Testón Núñez El hilo que une.
