1651. Carta de fray Francisco del Espíritu Santo para fray García Laso de la Madre de Dios.

Author(s) Francisco del Espíritu Santo      
Addressee(s) García Laso de la Madre de Dios      
In English

Letter from Francisco del Espíritu Santo, a friar, to García Laso de la Madre de Dios, a friar.

The author asks García Laso de la Madre de Dios a favour, because he needs to know the answer to his letters.

Between 1650 and 1666, Bartolomé Arias was accused of being a judaizer, and was eventually found guilty. During the interrogatory, he confirmed to have written the first of the letters of this file (PS8143), but someone had told him not to sign it. In this file are collected also the letters related to communications from the secret jails, because Bartolomé Arias was suspected to have stolen a key which permitted him to establish a way of communication between the jail and the outside world. Alonso de Cañizares, warden of the secret jail of the Holy Office in Toledo, declared that, during a search in the cell of María Carlos (who had been arrested as a judaizer), he had found a quill and small sheets of paper. When interrogated, María Carlos relates how she managed to get the quill and how she had prepared ink with charcoal and water, to write to her husband Baltasar Rodríguez Cardozo, who was imprisoned, too. This letter was sent together with PS8148, baceuse the author asks the addressee to deliver PS8148 to Gaspar Pintado.

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.
