The author answers a letter from José González Grande, rejoicing as he eases his conscience. He tells José González Grande he has taken the necessary measures and he lets him know he must look for another confessor.

A trial for solicitation against the priest Antonio Isidoro Valdeón occurred between 1756 and 1770, however, it was not followed up. Antonio Isidoro Valdeón was the rector of the Compañía de Jesus School in Cuenca. In October 1764, José González Grande was ill at the school’s seminary and the defendant went to administer confession. Then, «he took the liberty of put his hand on the chest and reached to his intimate parts while he said these words: it is because of your sins that God has you in this state» (fl.22r). In his statement, José González Grande also explained that after these incidents, he wrote a letter to the defendant on the 13th of November 1765 to forewarn him about his intention to give him away to the Holy Office. The defendant answered him in a pastern (which is the letter he provided to the process documentation as proof). There are also letters from two other women that were included in the process documentation as denouncement letters, also for solicitation, against Antonio Isidoro Valdeón.
