1553. Carta não autógrafa de Afonso Fernandes de Medelhim para Manuel Gil.

Private letter, dictated by Afonso Fernandes de Medelhim to Manuel Gil

The author asks the addressee to have his debts settled for him.

This letter belongs to the Inquisition proceedings against Afonso Fernando de Medelhim. Knowing that he was to be sentenced to death, Afonso Fernando de Medelhim dictated this variation of a will, since he wanted to leave his debts cleared. There are two other notes accompanying the letter: the first is a note stating that he was the mental author of the letter and that it was dictated to an unknown priest; the second one states when and where the letter was written and that it was done in the presence of witnesses.
