1766. Carta de Manuel Maldonado, pseudónimo de José Fontana, para Ignacio Godiafin, pseudónimo de Pedro Pieres.

Author(s) José Fontana      
Addressee(s) Pedro Pieres      
In English

Letter from Manuel Maldonado, pseudonym used by José Fontana, to Ignacio Godiafin, pseudonym used by Pedro Pieres.

The author writes to his crony informing him of the state of the inquiries against him and he advises him on the steps to be taken.

Litigation against Pedro Pieres, a native to France and naturalized in Gibraltar, who had been a military in different companies from which he had deserted. He was accused, together with two cronies, of using false identities for getting alms in churches pretending to be a new Christian converted from Lutheranism. At the time of the arrest three letters and some false passports were seized. He was also accused of desertion. During the proceeding, it was found out he was using at least two pseudonyms (Ignacio Godiafin and Juan Agustín Smit) and he was distorting the places where he was sending the letters from in order to hide his identity and his real whereabouts.
