1596. Carta de Sebastián Suárez Ponce, canónigo, para Antonio Cortina, contador mayor.

Author(s) Sebastián Suárez Ponce      
Addressee(s) Antonio Cortina      
In English

Letter from Sebastián Suárez Ponce de León, a canon, to Antonio Cortina, an accountant.

The author complains for the inconveniences caused by the delay of the payment of his debt, such as the expenses to be able to return to Spain.

In 1602 the distribution of the assets from the duke of Alcalá´s inheritance was completed. Several creditors claimed their right to be compensated. Sebastián Suárez Ponce de León, a rector at the College of the Society of Jesus, was among the creditors and he claimed 2000 ducats, given that he was the duke´s solicitor for his business in Rome between 1585 and 1595. He presented the accounts books and several witnesses backed his claim. Besides, after the trial had began, certain letters exchanged between Sebastián Suárez Ponce de León and the duke´s accountant, Antonio Cortina, were also presented. The College applied for the letters to be admitted as exhibit. María de Montalvo, Antonio Cortina´s wife, registered her husband´s documentation and provided eleven letters that were also included in the litigation. Finally, the court ruled in favour of the plaintiff and the the duke´s executors had to pay 1200 ducats.
